Hi Parents!
Can you believe that we’re already well into October!?
Here is a quick snapshot of what we’re working on…
In Reading, we’ve begun Unit 2- learning how to tackle non-fiction text! Eventually, we will research weather and natural disasters in teams, learning about earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, floods, and tsunamis!
We are presently Writing our very own Realistic Fiction Story based on our own real life experiences, but made even better by writing stories that we wish existed!
Currently, we are tackling Unit 2 Math which is all about Multiplication! It is always very helpful for your child to practice math facts (pretty please?).
Enjoy your week!
Hi Parents,
Here’s what we’ve been up to…
Reading: We are reading the book The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo and learning how to connect with the characters and make predictions based on our own experiences.
Writing: The kids started planning their Realistic Fiction stories for Unit 2!
Math: Our new unit is on MULTIPLICATION! Currently, we are multiplying 1 digit by 2 digit numbers. Of course, there will be more digits later! Please check out the methods we use to multiply- Area Model, Expanded Notation Model, and Algebraic Model, linked to this blog under the heading MULTIPLICATION METHODS. Don’t worry, we will be also using the “Parent” method (digit by digit) like we grown ups do!
Social Studies: We will be wrapping up our Economics Unit soon with a test to follow. Study materials will be coming home shortly!
