Dear Parents,
I hope you are enjoying this weather as much as I am. I was able to enjoy a run outside which was long overdue. The boys and I also played basketball outside and went for a bike ride. I am hoping this great weather continues.
***This Wednesday, we are going to have a read and feed. Students may bring a snack and drink of their choice.
Reading: Unit 6 focused on a variety of texts including, The Foot Race Across America, Paca and the Beetle, and other short texts. The students made the connection across texts that it takes hard work to reach a goal. Students also practiced identifying the main idea and details within texts.
Spelling: The spelling words for the next five weeks are review from past weeks. Our spelling pattern this past week had the VCCV pattern (vowel, consonant, consonant, vowel). Students practiced dividing the spelling words between the syllables which they noticed was between the two consonants. We also sorted them into two categories; vowel + r sounds in the first syllable and short vowel sound in the 1st syllable.
Ex. 57 Estimate: 60 x 5=300
x 5
50 x 5= 250
5 x 5= +_35
285

We would love if you could donate any pencils sharpeners to our classroom. We are also down to a couple boxes of Kleenex if you have any to spare. Thanks in advance:)

Math: In Unit 9, students will focus on three different algorithms to solve multiplication problems. Students will learn standard (traditional), partial products, and the lattice method. Students will practice each of the algorithms, but ultimately choose the one that works the best for them.We have practiced the partial products method so far, here is an example how to use the algorithm.Ex. 57 Estimate: 60 x 5=300
x 5
50 x 5= 250
5 x 5= +_35
285
