WHAT HAVE WE BEEN UP TO?In math, we continued our unit on

multiplication and division with whole numbers anddecimals. This week, we practiced different strategies

to multiply two and three digit numbers. Many of thestrategies we have learned involve breaking the problem apart, so it is very important that studentsknow their multiplication facts. Students can practicefacts at home with flash cards. There are also somegreat games and activities under the math links on our class webpage.

We also wrapped up our science unit, titled“Variables”. With this three week focus, we werehoping to give our students some important,

fundamental science knowledge that they will build on

in middle school and beyond. Our class conductedexperiments with Flippers this week. We also took the

end of module assessment, which will be shared atconferences.

Because of the short week, there was nospelling list this week. Next week, we will continuewith spelling and start a new book club based on the

historical fiction genre. Next week, we will begin our next IB Planner 

titled Civil Struggles. The central idea of this planner isthat societies have civil conflicts due to differences.

Inquiry will focus on different civil struggles of the past and today, including the Civil War.We are continuing to work on demonstrating

the IB learner profiles and attitudes. Our classroom hashad a hard time lately showing respect towardsclassmates and adults. Please continue to discussappropriate and respectful behaviors for school withyour child.

As we approach the spring, please remind your child to be responsible with turning work in on time.We have had several students struggling to complete

their homework on time over the past couple weeks.
