WE are moving mountains in MATH! I am so excited about the great effort that the students are putting into the many math topics we are practicing right now.

Here are a few:

• Algebraic and variable expressions. Examples: 3m= 36, subtract five from the product of six and four, 36f when f =24
• Estimate by rounding. Examples: 46 x 37= 50 x 40 = 200
• Patterns of Zero and Ten. Examples: 20 x 3= (Think of 2x3=6 and add the zero.) 60, 500 x 50 = (5x5 =25 and add three zeros) 25,000
• Classifying shapes for geometry.
• Attempting to master the facts. +, - x, / (XtraMath)
• Double digit multiplication.
• LONG division with 2 digit divisors (estimating the quotient)

In Science, we just began our first unit on the Ecosystem. We played an exciting game called “Kahoot! “ This had the kids on their feet and applauding each other. We have a list of vocab words to learn, along with the content of the theme, and have each chosen a Maine Coast animal (fish, bird, mollusk, or mammal) to study. Today, we wrote our bold beginning or ‘Hook” to our report/article.

Have a fabulous weekend!
