This week in Literacy:
In Module 2 we explore the wild world of frogs in fiction and nonfiction! We will be reading and writing narratives through Poems and Pourquoi Tales about Frogs. We have already defined the French word and it’s meaning and are excited to explore many tales that explain the origin or reasoning behind something. Even if modern science debunks some of these, they are fun to think about!
This week in Math:
We are back to multiplication and division strategies in unit 4 for the next several weeks. We are reviewing the strategies used in multiplication (Number line, repeated addition, skip counting, arrays, and equal groups drawings) and will also cover unknowns and the PROPERTIES for multiplication (commutative, distributive, and associative). We will continue to solve MULTI STEP addition, subtraction, multiplication and division through number lines, arrays, visual models, and more! Multiplication/division will be the MAJOR focus on 2nd quarter. Memorization of facts is an expectation come January! May as well start prepping now!
There are tons of great resources for this skill- please check some out here in this amazing math review resource organized by skill.
This quarter in Science: In 2nd quarter, students will learn about Force and Motion. Key words: gravity, direction, friction, speed, force.
