Math Updates
In Math this week, we started our week by reviewing how factors and products are related while playing the game Product Pile-Up. We then solved number stories that involved extended facts, for example 50x7=? We used the basic facts to help solve the larger facts. Finally, we solved elapsed time problems.

Building a READING LIFE
In Reading this week, we continued working on research reading. We started a second study where we are researching an important person in our history. We discussed how when reading with a partner and teaching them something new, we read with an explaining or "teaching" voice. We then noticed how our information was organized and used it to help us take notes in the same organized way. Ask your child who they are researching!

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
This week in Writing, we worked on our final published piece. We are publishing them by creating an e-book in the app Book Creator.
