 Hello All,

I hope EVERYONE had a WONDERFUL Mid-Winter Break 

In our Math Rotations this week we have been working on: 

Mental Math: In this rotation, students have been working on their assigned pages in their “Go Math” workbooks, Multiplication Facts and Strategies AND Multiply 2-Digit Numbers AND Divide by 1-Digit Numbers

At the Teacher’s Desk: In this rotation, students have been working creating their Math Games with their Math Groups.

Technology: In this rotation, students have been working on their “Go Math/Think Central” assignments or IXL on their Chromebooks. 

Have Fun With Games/Red Bin Work: In this rotation, students have been working on playing games with their Math Group or answering fact fluency questions in order to take their turn in the games played on Fun Fridays.

The standards that were used were: 3.OA.C.7, 3.OA.B.6, 3.OA.A.3, 4.OA.C.5, 4.NF.A.1

In Social Studies we have been working on describing some characteristics of a market economy (e.g., private property rights, voluntary exchange, competition, consumer sovereignty, incentives, specialization). Explain relationships among themes, ideas, and characters within and across texts to create a deeper understanding by categorizing and classifying, comparing and contrasting, or drawing parallels across time and culture. Identify and describe the structure, elements, features, and purpose of a variety of informational genres including autobiography/ biography, personal essay, almanac, and newspaper. Identify and describe the structure, elements, and purpose of a variety of narrative genres including poetry, myths, legends, fantasy, and adventure.

The standards that were used were: 4. E1.0.2, R.CM.04.03, R.IT.04.01, R.NT.04.02, W.GN.04.0, 

4. E1.0.7, 4.E1.0.6, 4.E1.0.4

Thank you,

This week in ELA we started a new spelling list, but updates and errros on the Vocabulary A-Z website caused us to have to pause this list. We will resume this list next week when the errors have been fixed. We started our "Great Mail Race" letters and surveys this week also! Each student has picked a state and a school in that state to write a letter to. We will be putting a USA map up to keep track of what states we hear back from. The students have been very excited to learn about how others schools run in different states. Next week we will be starting another reading check-in to keep track of each students progress. Some reading groups may be rearraged as needed. We will be also starting our next science unit on weathering and errosion. -Ms. Jamie
