Math WorkshopStudents will continue their work with Unit 7 Multiplication and Base Ten 1-by-2 and 2-by-2 digits. Sometimes, the slideshows say to print out a sheet or to send a picture of your child's work. These are optional, you do not HAVE to do those. :) This week students will:
Students will always be given the option with workplaces on the slideshow or games on our websites for extra practice. | Reading Workshop Students will finish up notes on their second country! Then students will take that information and use it with the skill of comparing and contrasting. They will see teachers take subtopics or lenses researched and compare and contrast them on a chart. Students will do this with their own notes and subtopics in their journals or on a google document. After they work on comparing and contrasting their countries and their subtopics, they will use sentence starters to grow their own ideas about what they observe between the two countries. Students will develop theories with the question of WHY? based on what they observed when they compared and contrasted their two countries. Lastly, they will start to hear folktales and fairy tales being read that represent some of the countries we have researched. We will start to think about the county's culture and how it is sewn throughout the stories. | Writing Workshop Students will work to continue using the narrative checklists they filled out to revise their fairy tale adaptations and add to them! They will have two days to do that this week: Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday students will be given the task to read their fairy tale to the teacher or a family member who hasn't heard it! :) Thursday and Friday students will be starting new fairy tale adaptations. They will make a plan for a new fairy tale adaptation, practice storytelling it, and then write for twenty minutes. |

This week students will:
- See Mr. Standley work 16 times a single-digit and double-digit number in a problem string.
- Work with Ms. Molchen on 4 x 23 and 3 x 27 and the base ten area model (they can sketch this or use the base ten paper to print)
- See Mrs. Tsangaris remind us how to use the base ten app model and practice with 4 x 3, 4 x 30 and 4 x 33 and how they are connected. Then students will solve their own for practice: 7 x 21 and 8 x 32
- Learn about the associative property of multiplication with Ms. Molchen and practice it in their math journals.
- Complete more problem strings with Mrs. Tsangaris of 4 x 10, 4x 8, 4 x 18, 4 x 80, and 4 x 800. Then they will try it on their own.
Students will always be given the option with workplaces on the slideshow or games on our websites for extra practice.

Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt Read Aloud We will read chapters: 13, 14, 15, and 16! All your student has to do is follow along with me and listen to me read :) We may have 1-2 questions and thoughts on Google Classroom we'll let them know about. They are learning a lot about Ally Nickerson as a character and thinking deeply about the events that happen to her. They are also starting to think about the new characters introduced to the story and how their relationship with Ally adds to the story. Examples are Albert, Keisha, Mr. Daniels. | IMPORTANT UPDATE: Interactive Read AloudWe do have one interactive read aloud this week, which is Ming Lo Moves the Mountain by Arnold Lobel. That will actually be posted in our Reading Workshop topic this week, because from here until the end of the year, we will just be using read alouds intertwined with our reading workshop lessons. The topic of Interactive Read Alouds on Google Classroom will still be there, but we will not be adding any new stories from now on. We will let students know of this in their morning meeting videos, too. |
