Our Week in Review...
We read a play called The Strongest One that was about which ant was the strongest. The "-est" at the end of the word means that it's the best of them all! Our grammar focus this week was on finding common nouns and proper nouns. Proper nouns need to be capitalized and are special because they are a name of a common noun.
In math this week, we focused on multiplication using arrays! We learned about the difference between a row and a column. Rows run "back and forth" or "side to side." We can also call a row horizontal (like a horizon). Columns run "up and down" and are what hold up a structure. Columns are vertical. <3
In multiplication, the the two things you multiply together are called factors. The total, or answer, of a multiplication expression is called the product. For example, in the equation 5 x 4 = 20, the factors are 5 and 4, and the product is 20. We would say this expression as "five groups of 4 equals 20 total things." I can also draw an array to show this equation! Please ask me to show you on my whiteboard at home!!! :D
We had our final swimming day on Tuesday! Some of us got to go down the pretzel slide and the drop slide! IT WAS SO FUN!!! We also finished and got our wands. :)
We also tried to earn a cooperation celebration. We started out the week really well, but we were a little chatty this week. We will work on being more mindful of our learning time next week. WE. CAN. DO. IT!!!
