I hope you all enjoyed the warm weather this weekend! Such a nice change from the rain and snow. Take a look into our week! Math: We finished our second unit on multiplication and division. Students learned a new property called the associate property as well as reviewed the distributive property as well as the community property. Students are getting a hang of their multiplication and division facts. We did some state testing practice by working as teams to solve problems similar to what may appear on the state test. The pictures below are the students using their communication skills to make sure every member of their team could solve the problem. Literacy: Students spent quality time in their book this week as well as practicing their non-fiction comprehension. Students are enjoying reading articles on topics that interest them. They are continuing to use the skills they learned to help with non-fiction reading. Some students also met with me one-on-one to showcase the progress they have made this year!
Writing: Students used their writing organizers to formulate paragraphs for their informational piece. They worked to make sure they had a topic sentence, details, and closing sentence. We also took some time to practice punctuating paragraphs using periods exclamation points, and questions marks. I am really trying to get them to punctuate their own writing correctly. Social Studies: Students had the opportunity to explore pictures of the different regions of Oregon as well as learn about landforms found in the regions. Feel free to ask your child to see if they can name some landforms. Examples: volcanoes, islands, lakes, mountains, valleys, canyons, etc. To celebrate the science expo our class had the opportunity to work with the Ozobots with Mrs. Klingner's class. Student programmed the Ozobot to knock bowling pins over or to trace the letters of their name. They had so much fun!
