Happy Tuesday!
We have had a great week so far!
Students have been engaged in our our base ten system helps us round numbers for estimation and to make addition and subtraction easier. We have worked on using a number line and learned about the "Cinderella Strategy" today. Can your kiddo explain the "Cinderella Strategy?" Ask them to round 12, 347 to the nearest thousand!
As we move along in our processes of change in the colonies, we are diving into the Boston Massacre. We are inquiring into the two sides of the story. Today, students examined images by different artists that depict the Boston Massacre. They made observations, and worked to understand perspective. I am excited to share some news accounts with them and have them work to decide who really started the Boston Massacre: the colonists, or the British troops!
We are enjoying developing our opinion writing pieces. Students have developed a graphic organizer and completed all of the parts. We will be ready to begin typing our draft this week, so that we may begin revising and editing. Ask students about their topic/thesis statement, and what reasons they have for their opinion.
Curriculum night is at 6:00 tonight. I am excited to see everyone! Head to the multi-purpose room first.
