Math
The weeks coming up to holiday break will be spent on different forms of multiplication and introducing division. We will continue our focus on creating children who are problem solvers. The forms of multiplication that will be taught are the area model, arrays, "the wrestling mat" (what we call it), and lastly the traditional method. Students will learn each strategy, so that they can choose the one they are most comfortable with until they become more fluent. Homework will be shorter these next few weeks because we know their our many holiday activities and family events your families will be participating in.
Science/ Social Studies
The Science Fair went great! Thanks to all of the special people who joined us for the event. In Science we have just finished the forms of energy and are moving to circuits. The students will be building circuits this week and discussing conductors and insulators. Thanks for the batteries and we will return them this Friday!
