Happy New Year families! It was so wonderful to see the children last week and to get back into our school routine. During December, the children continued to work on multiplication. They used multiplication to solve multistep word problems. In addition, they did many activities that would help them understand the relationship between multiplication and division. We created these fact family snowpeople for practice and also to add a bit of wintery fun to our classroom. We'll continue to practice facts at school. Please continue to have your child practice multiplication facts at home as well. We've started working on area in math. The students have learned what area is and have been exploring strategies to find the area of a given figure, including counting and multiplication. Just before vacation, we finished up our point of view unit in reading. Currently, we are working on finding main ideas and details in nonfiction text. In writing, we've ended our unit on realistic fiction. Over the course of the unit each student planned, wrote, edited, and revised more than one story. Our new focus in writing is nonfiction! Our study of main idea in reading will carry over into our writing unit. The children have all chosen nonfiction topics and have started to research and take notes. Later, they'll sort their notecards into categories based on main idea. The end product will be a Question and Answer book! Our unit on Native Americans has also finished. We've started a unit on fossils and what examining them can teach us.
