Classroom Update

Welcome Back! We hit the ground running today. We started our first story in our next unit. We read about the First Americans and then split into partners to research and record information about the different people. We will continue to do this all week. We also began working on multiplication today. This process is more pointing out using skills they already know to find the answer to a multiplication problem. For example making five equal groups of four and skip counting. This would look like 4, 8, 12, 16, 20. Or 5x4

We began our unit in science on the earth's natural resources. If you have any great rocks that show the different type of rock such as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic place consider sending it in or sending a photo of it in.

We are also starting a project about what people do when they loose teeth from around the world. The kids will end up making a book that looks like a tooth.
