ELA
We also began this unit by introducing economics! The students were thrilled when they realized that the economics fair is coming up soon! We began talking about what economics means and read and discussed about supply and demand. We also played a "super market" game in which the buyers and seller had to negotiate prices in order to make the highest profit or buy the most amount of items. The excitement on their faces when trying to persuade and sell their items was priceless!
Please be on the lookout for additional information about the Economics Fair!
Math
We ended our multiplication and division unit with an assessment and began our new unit. In the next unit, we will focus on measurement and data. We will also continue to review basic multiplication and division in the next unit.
In addition, we will continue to take multiplication timed tests 1-2 times per week to help gain fluency of facts. Please continue to encourage your child to practice his or her facts on a daily basis!
