Math - We learned the distributive property this week and focused on breaking apart larger multiplication problems into two smaller problems that we already have memorized. This trick seemed to help students a lot! We also made a giant multiplication table where students chose to represent their fact in repeated addition, drawing an array, pictures, or skip counting. We had a lot of fun with it!
Science - In science this week we learned about vaporization and evaporation. Students learned that water will evaporate faster with warmer conditions and more surface area.
Social Studies - In social studies we learned how people make choices about saving and spending money and how farmers produce goods for the community. Students learned about income and expenses, opportunity cost, and supply and demand.
Writing - Many students are on the publishing stage of their persuasive essay! Hopefully we will have everyone finished up next week.
Reading - In My Family, the story we read this week, was about a young girl telling stories about her family. We focused on vocabulary and comprehension.
Religion - Chapter 8 was about identifying the work of the Church in the world which was a great connection for the season of Lent. We have also been doing the stations of the cross every Friday during the season of Lent.
Reminders:
- Mangia Fresca night has been moved to March 10th
