It has been a wild ride for the last couple of weeks, but I am back! This week will be a laid back week. I have a few friends with some missing assignments so, I want to give them time to get those things in. All missing assignments will need to be in by Monday, November 16. We are also covering new things, so we are doing a lot of things together.
Some friends are wearing masks that are too big, so just as a reminder, make sure they are wearing the correct fit. They should also have more than one mask at school, so please send extra with them to keep in their book bag or locker. Religion: We are wrapping up our hunger unit. It is typically in conjunction with the chapel service that we have. However, due to covid, we cannot be in the chapel. I feel the project component is a very important part of the unit, so we will still put together something to showcase what we've learned. I will record whatever the project is that we vote on and upload it to Google Classroom and Class Dojo. Math: We finished topic three on Friday, but we will not move into anything new until Monday. Topic four is on division, so I want to make sure that we are "solid" in multiplication before we move into division. This week, we’ve done a few interactive activities to practice the numerous strategies that we’ve learned. They can continue to practice those things at home also. We covered multiplying using repeated addition, using arrays, and using number lines. We also reviewed the five properties of multiplication: zero, identity, commutative, associative, and distributive. On Friday, we will do a small introduction into division, focusing on repeated subtraction. Reading: We are moving into a new unit which is focusing on working together to solve a problem. I love that this is the new unit focus as there is a struggle with group work right now. The focal points in this unit are making predictions, identifying themes, folktales, antonyms, long i and long u vowel sounds, and making plural words. We will take a deep dive into multiple themes as we read stories, both in the curriculum and outside of the curriculum. Social Studies: We finally finished chapter 1! In this next chapter, we are learning about economics. The big question is, "How do people get what they want and need?" On Friday, we took some time to do a small introduction to the main ideas of this chapter, such as goods vs. services and wants vs. needs. Within this chapter, we will learn about consumers and producers, imports and exports, and natural, human, and capital resources. Important Dates:
