Friday, October 17th

Happy Friday!  We had a great end to our week.

Students worked with a partner to read a TIME for Kids article and determine the topic, main idea, and provide supporting details.  They worked diligently and are doing so well with gathering this information.

We will be ready to begin drafting our opinion essays next week.  I am really looking forward to reading them.

Student began looking at the cycle of the moon today.  They were first asked to put the cycle in order.  After watching a short video about the moon, they were asked to modify their moon cycle.  They then recorded their final cycle of the moon on paper and labeled it.  We also discussed the misconception that during the new moon phase, there is no moon.  Ask your child to tell you more!!





Students worked to solve number riddles in math.  Here's a sample of one we completed in class:


I am a 3-digit whole number between 400 and 650. 
My hundreds digit is divisible by 2 but not 3. 
My tens digit is a multiple of 3. 
My ones digit is 1⁄2 of my tens digit. 
All of my digits are different. 
The sum of my digits is 13. 
What number am I?

Can you solve the riddle??

We have an incredibly busy week next week.  I hope you have a restful weekend!
