Math Updates
In Math this week, we practiced portioning rectangles to solve multidigit multiplication problems. We used the break apart strategy to break apart the larger factor into two smaller factors. We are becoming pros at this! Next, we developed strategies for using a calculator with a broken division key to solve a problem. Then we compared and discussed our strategies and revised our work.

Building a READING LIFE
In Reading this week, we continued our independent research project on influential people in Pennsylvania. The students are set with their PA people and are continuing their research. They have been using Google slides to compile their information regarding the early life, importance, and how they supported PA. When they have finished they will be making a book about their person on Book Creator.

Word Study
No word study.
Monday nights- Students are to sort their words and record them in their notebooks. They are to also record their discovery or rule for the week.
Tuesday and Wednesday nights- Students should sort their words and read them as they sort. They can practice writing them on paper, whiteboards, or typing them. NO WRITTEN homework is required on these nights.
Thursday nights- Students are to ask an adult to quiz them on their words. They write the headers and then record the words as they are called out. The adult should use the notebook to correct the sort and ask the student to practice any words that were spelled incorrectly. This can be done on the back of the homework sheet. This paper should then be returned to school Friday morning.
Friday- there will be a test given
Writing long & strong
