I hope everyone had a chance to get out and enjoy the warm weather this weekend! I went for an icy ski with my family. Hopefully, we get some more snow soon!
Lunch Bunch
This week’s Lunch Bunches will be Tuesday and Thursday at 1pm.
📏Math
This week the kids are working on dividing decimals. For each lesson I’ll provide a video for the standard algorithm (the one you’re all familiar with) AND the Big 7 Method (also known as the partial quotient method). It is up to you and your child to decide how you want to solve the problems. I will say, don’t knock the Big 7 Method right off the bat! Be open minded. 🤙🏼

📚Reading
This week’s comprehension story is They Called Her Molly Pitcher. Instead of a Kahoot! quiz, kids will be answering text questions assess their understanding of the story. Students will be working on finding details to support a conclusion or generalization.

This week’s writing choice board includes more choices. They are required to complete 3 options for the week. Most of the options have a 2 paragraph minimum.
🚀 Science
We’re starting our new unit! It is called Spaceship Earth and will be an 8 week unit all about astronomy. This week kids will start their Anchor Activity. This is a place for them to collect their thoughts throughout the unit. Mystery 1 is all about the Earth’s rotation.

This week the class is learning about the two sides of the American Revolution. Who were the Loyalists? Who were the Patriots?
