Chapter 3 Update

 We will be concluding our Chapter 3 unit this week in class.  Last week, we learned how to solve single step and multi-step word problems.  We also worked on drawing a picture to help us solve word problems.  Bar modeling is one way that this can be accomplished.  We will continue working on complex word problems this week and will test on Monday.

Geography

 We started our first social studies unit: geography! Students learned about the importance of maps and how we use them to locate places. We discussed key terms like borders, hemisphere, and prime meridian. We also reviewed the seven continents.

Severe Weather Research

 We are working on our severe weather research in small groups in the LMC.  Your child is creating a newscast to teach others about their severe weather topic.  We will conclude this project before the end of October.  Thank you to all the parents who volunteered their time to help us with this project.

Chapter 3 Math

In Chapter 3, we will be learning about subtraction of larger numbers.  Your child will be subtracting without regrouping and with regrouping.  Here are some helpful videos:
