Week
7 – 8 (October 3 – 14)
Math
Decomposing and understanding what multiplication is and the
properties that go along with it, has been our main focus these past two weeks.
We are now beginning to work on finding missing factors and solving for unknown
factors. We will eventually begin working with multiplication fluency. I want
to make sure that the kids have a firm grasp on what multiplication truly is
before we begin working on memorization and algorithms.
What’s A Good
Reader?
As I conference with the student about their reading, they are
beginning to get a better understanding of who they are as a reader. We’ve been
discussing what a good reader does, some goals they have for reading, and what
they would like to do as readers that others are doing as readers. We’ve also
listened to a secret reader to see what it is that they are doing really well
as a reader and also to discuss their miscues. This allows students to hear and
understand what fluency sounds like and also for them to get some new ideas for
books they’d like to read.

The kids had a blast and panned for lots of cool minerals!
Lunch outside
With such nice weather, we’ve been enjoying our lunch outside, cleaning up our playground, and having a little extra recess!!!
