So many exciting things have been going on in our classroom. We got to meet our Kindergarten buddies, we had out first Art Lit, and the students finished their narrative pieces they worked so hard on! Math: As I shared at conferences, we finished our first math unit that included rounding to the nearest 10 and 100, adding and subtracting 3-digit numbers. We have started our next unit which is the introduction to multiplication and division. Students started the unit by figuring out the total cost of groups of stamps. We discovered there were so many strategies we could use to solve for the total. Below is an example. Ways to support your child in math? -Start playing the Slides and Ladder Game I sent home. It will be HARD for them if they are starting multiplication for the first time but it would be great practice. -Draw pictures similar to the stamps above and ask them to write a multiplication equation for the picture. Reading: We are working through our mystery unit now where students are working on skills such as: inferring/predicting, identifying who the crime solver is, and what the mystery is, and summarizing. These skills will be assessed for the second time this year in the next weeks. How can you support your child in reading? Ask them their five finger summary! Use the picture below to help. Writing: We finished our narrative writing unit and are on to opinion writing! Students brought in their collections from home or use a dragon collection at school as a way to judge items. Students learned there are 3 ways to fairly judge items. See the picture below! Here are some pictures!
