Week of November 4th

Math

We are continuing with Number Sense in math starting Division this week. Students are reminded to continue to practice their multiplication skills.

Grade 4:            – up to their 9 times tables

                        - multiply a 2 digit by a 1 digit number

Grade 5:             - up to their 12 times tables

                        - multiply a 2 digit by a 2 digit number

In Division we will come up with a variety of strategies that I will post later that students can use to help them solve word problems and division questions.

Grade 4:             - divide up to 81

                        - divide a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number

Grade 5:              - divide up to 144

                        - divide a 3 digit number by a 1 digit number

Language

This week in writing students will be using the traits that I modeled and they practiced in a writing piece. Looking at Harris Burdick photos students will be writing a story about a picture using all of the traits outlined in the rubric below. Students will be provided the rubric and reminded to check their work to ensure all aspects of the writing traits are met.
