Baseball Multiplication

On Friday we played baseball multiplication in class.  I am posting the link here.  It is a great way to help the students can practice their math facts over break.  Your child can log into their Everyday Math account, but this link takes you directly to it and it is open to the public to play.  Just look at the top of the column labeled two players.  You can choose to play with factors 1-6 or with factors 1-12.

Midwest

We have begun our next Social Studies unit- The Midwest.  Yesterday, we learned about the land in the Midwest and how we are known for our plains and lakes.  We also labeled a map yesterday in class and came up with ways to learn their locations.  We sent it home yesterday.  Today, we learned about the forests and prairies.  We also cut out flashcards to bring home to help us practice our states and capitals.  During this unit, your child will be required to learn the locations of each of the Midwestern states and each capital.  Please practice the state locations and capitals with your child.  This will help him towards the end of the unit.

Solar System Research

Today we taped our solar system videos in the LMC.  We practiced and then created our videos.  Stay tuned!  They will be posted on the blog for your viewing pleasure soon!
