• Manatees: Students will continue working on multiplication of multi-digit numbers by one-digit. Test tentatively scheduled for Thursday.

• Cranes: The Cranes will continue their unit focused on fluently multiplying multi-digit whole numbers but to 3 digit by 2 digit numbers with a focus on using standard algorithm.

• Monkeys: The Monkeys will continue working on division up to three digits with one digit divisors.

Students will have one more week to work on their first five-paragraph opinion essay: Should animals be kept in zoos?

So far, we have some very opinionated students doing some serious deep thinking! It’s been fun watching them embrace the challenge, wrestle with different ideas, and work through the struggle. After all, we like the struggle!

*****Please do not help your child with writing! I need to see what they are capable of doing!

We will continue our focus on Earth Science! Next week, we’ll dive into tectonic plates and explore how they shape our planet. We are also bringing writing into science. Students will work on reading a short passage to answer a question using the TIDE strategy.

LasThis week, Karen got to experience being a gravestone. She also pooped and partied for the first time! I will give you a report on what her poop looked like. I observed that it looked a lot like the food she had eaten. For example, she ate pizza so her poop looked like pizza. (Warning! It is highly dangerous to feed Karen! Do not try without my supervision!)

Anyway, this week, Karen became famous. The whole north campus now knows about Karen because of one pawsitive bear assembly. (See what I did there? Pawsitive bear assembly. Because we’re bears and bears have paws. No? OK, I’ll stop.) One example of Karen being famous is one recess(yes Karen comes to recess) someone asked for Karen to hi-five them. Another reason Karen and I are famous is because at a different recess, someone said, “You’re the girl with the baby,” And I said, “Yeah, I’m the girl with the baby.” (Karen wasn’t there that recess.)
