Week 16

 Dear Parents,

    This week in math we continued learning about the concept of multiplication as repeated addition. We drew equal groups to solve word problems. We learned that the first number in a multiplication sentence represents how many groups there are and the second number stands for how many objects are in each group, thus we draw very different pictures for 2X6 and 6X2. We also began division as splitting up objects equally into groups. Lastly we viewed division as repeated subtraction. Our assessment was taken on Thursday and on Friday we practiced what we learned by doing a fun activity with Cookie Crisp cereal. We practiced both multiplication and division.

    In writing we worked on some special Thanksgiving gifts for you! I know you will treasure them! We also continued our writing process to finish up any pieces that are yet unfinished. We go for quality- and add the grades when all are turned in.

     In reading we listened to a Brainpop Jr. about the first Thanksgiving. We discussed the questions ahead of time so that we knew what information we were listening for. We read a Scholastic News article called  Time for thanks and discussed what we are grateful for. We listened to Thanksgiving at the Tarleton’s and discussed our own family traditions. We listened to A Turkey for Thanksgiving, completed a story map and answered questions about the story. On Friday we watched Arthur’s Thanksgiving.

    In science we took our assessment over position and movement and began our unit about rocks. We are having fun being scientists observing our rock and writing about their physical properties. We then compared our rock with a partner’s rock to fill out a double bubble map. We finished up the week with a talk/read/talk/write activity!
