EMAIL ALERTS: If you would like an email alert when I post something to my fusion page, please follow the directions below. Your child also brought the directions home and they are on the blog.

MATH:
We have been working at dividing with 2-digit divisors. It can be difficult estimating how many multiples of a number will work. They have learned how to find and list the multiples using a calculator. They may use this method-the work still has to be shown just to be sure they know the steps- but they know they will not be able to rely on this for the test. We have not been using this method often so they have had a lot of practice without it. W also learned how to multiply decimals by multiples of ten.

 READING:
We are reading Sign of the Beaver, our new genre unit chapter book. The theme is facing a challenge.
We have been working on vocabulary in context, context clues for comprehension, and finding descriptive detail.


WRITING:
We have been writing expository pieces this recently. We wrote a persuasive piece about an article we read about telling white lies. We are completing a summary of an article about penguins. We wrote a compare and contrast piece together comparing Tom Sawyer and Bart Simpson.

SPELLING:
Our skill this week was the various spellings of the letter s in "sun" - soft 's' sound.
 Tests have been returned.


SCIENCE:
We have been performing activities about motion, types of motion, what affects motion, and how to calculate speed.
