Hi parents,
We had a great day today, a perfect way to wrap up our excruciatingly long, exhausting week of 1.5 days. In the morning, we had gym and the spelling quiz, as well as a lot of work time for the November Break narrative writing task.
We did Daily LA, and then learned about using pictures to solve multiplication problems. I want to make sure students know all the slow, concrete strategies for multiplication before we start any fact memorization / mental math strategies. Noodles and Bowls, and drawing picture representations, are accurate, reliable strategies, despite being slow, and I want to make sure everyone feels confident using them. It's always good to have a backup plan if mental math isn't working.
We talked about Earth's layers as part of a quick science lesson. We're still on the topic of how natural forces shape earth's surface, and we're going to be learning about volcanoes next week.
Stay tuned for next week's spelling words, and have a nice weekend!
Zac
