Greetings parents!
I hope you had a nice weekend despite the crummy weather. It looks like we'll have some days with indoor recess this week.
Semester 2 is off to a great start and the kiddos are working hard!
This week in...
MATH
Purple group will continue with Unit 4 - multiplication with fractions, and start division with fractions. They will also work on a task called "Planely a Problem". Ask them about it!
Blue group will continue with unit 1b - multiplication and division with whole numbers. They did really well with multiplication, so we are moving on to division this week. Students will work on 2 strategies - Partial quotient strategy and long division strategy (algorithm - they way you and I learned how to divide :). There is a video on the google classroom on how to do the partial quotient strategy. You can also look online, and find many videos explaining the strategy. They will also work on a task called "planely a problem".
SCIENCE
Students will continue with the sound portion of the Light/sound unit. Have they shared with you what they learned about pitch and amplitude? They had fun exploring different ways to change pitch Friday.
They will have a quiz Thursday on vocabulary and notes from class.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Nichole Bice :)
