"Freezing
cold winds,
biting chills, and
white snow fluffed hills
Valentines day, oh how gay!
presidents' day is coming our way.
February, sweet and small, greatest month of all."
- Eric Lies, 28 Word Poem for February
We began our week by creating multiplication/division diagrams to solve number stories using a letter to represent the unknown amount. Students felt very grown up and enjoyed this peek into pre-algebra. Other lessons this week include playing Multiplication Top-It and applying strategies to multiply larger factors. Children will use parentheses in number sentences and practice using PEMDAS for solving multi-step problems. Students will have a Home Link each night for homework.
Our spelling rule this week involves More Words with Long o. Students will have a spelling assignment Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for homework. Please help your child study for his or her test on Thursday.
Scholastic book orders went home last week. They'll be due back on or before March 16th. Our classroom code is HB244 for online orders.
We will attend a Techsploration regarding Simple Machines this Thursday morning. Thank you to the PTO for sponsoring this awesome experience!
Have a fantastic week and vacation! :)
