Next week they will use Oreo cookies to show phases of the moon. Also, they will begin working on their own project to demonstrate their understanding on this unit. Also, for the first time the students engaged in some learning fun using Quizzlet. Quizzlet is an application similar to Kahoot. The students had to answer questions about the chapter book, Mr. Sunny is Funny. We finished our 3rd chapter book as a class. They really enjoyed the book. It was written from a kid's perspective. We will begin another chapter book next week upon my return to school
In math, the on level students learned how to add 3 2-digit numbers using the decomposing strategy/expanded form. Please ask your child to show you the strategy to add the numbers 35+24+11=___. They should break each 2-digit number apart and add the multiples of 10 and then multiples of 1. The advance math students learned the different ways to show to multiplication using the Frayer Model. They will learn more as we move into division.
It is recommended that students work on IREADY reading and math every night in lieu of homework. They should complete 45 minutes every week and pass the lesson with 80% accuracy. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.
