Week of December 1st
Important Reminders
- Progress Reports will go home some time this week.
- Math Test Friday
- Hypothesis and Question for Science Fair due Friday. (Just two sentences on their lab report.)
Hope Everyone had a great Thanksgiving Break
Math
This week in math we are focusing on multiplication. We will multiply two digit numbers by two digit numbers. (23 X 43) We will start using nontraditional strategies based on things they already know to encourage problem solving. Then we will learn the traditional method that you and I learned in school. We want them to understand more than one strategy, so be patient with your students if they are solving the multiplication in a different way then you do.
Science
In science we are finishing with properties of soil. Then we are moving to weathering, erosion, and deposition.
For Science Fair:
This Friday a question and hypothesis are due. This is two sentences on a their lab report, so that they have an idea about their science experiment. On my website under resources there is a link for science fair experiments if you need ideas.
If you have any questions or concerns please email or call me!
