In the Classroom
In math this week, we finished our multiplication unit with an assessment. Students will still be practicing the basic facts up through 10 x 10 as the year continues. Please use the resource given at conferences to have students practicing at home as well. We started our division unit by learning about equal sharing and remainders.
Students are loving sharing their opinions! We learned two different places to get ideas for our opinion pieces: 1. See a problem in your life and imagine a solution 2. See something or someone amazing and show why they/it deserves to be recognized. I have been so impressed with the writing going on this week.
In reading w used this week to finish our biography unit, practice with MYON reader, and read a Scholastic News magazine. We also used a Shared Reading book about Zebras to study how authors use facts and opinions in their work.
In Health this week, we focused on germs. We studied the differences between bacteria and viruses, looked at pictures of germs under a microscope, and learned the 4 ways germs are spread. We also used Glo-Germ to practice proper hand-washing techniques.
