In math, our focus this month has been on advanced multiplication. The children have learned how to multiply using the array and partial products methods. They have also learned how to multiply using area models. If you have not checked out Seesaw lately you will find some of their great work there!
In language arts we continue to practice using our Keys to Literacy strategies when generating questions about the literature we are reading. Mr. Murphy kicked off the MCBA program in the Learning Commons and each student is actively engaged in reading at least 5 MCBA books by April. This allows students to officially vote for the book that they believe should win this school year's award.
In writing we are writing poetry. Each student has created a poem that they have published in Seesaw. Each poem is complete with the poet reading their work! Please check out Seesaw if you haven't already.
We recently completed our study of maps with a special map activity in the cafeteria. Below are some pictures of the children locating cities and states on a giant map!
