Growth Mindset

Stretch your brain and increase those brain muscles! Here's the book again in case you want to read it!

Remember you have a math test on Monday! You need to be able to:

• Estimate numbers to find the sum (+) and difference (-)
• Add and subtract showing your work and your steps (borrowing, carrying)
• Find out the amount of change/bills you should get back when you purchase something. 

You can spend some time reviewing the homework I've posted, working with money, or practicing on Prodigy or Freckle. Remember, when we did our Plickers reviews you should know where you struggled to ensure that is where you continue practicing!

***REMEMBER: You need to read the question, to ensure you are answering it correctly.. like: Estimate, THEN calculate!

Save the Rainforest!

Today we learned a bit about the different rainforests around the world. They are all over and close to the equator. Costa Rica, Brazil, Madagascar, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, and of course... MALAYSIA all have rainforests. We need to be careful about what we do so that we do not help the destruction of the rainforests around the world. We need them because they produce... oxygen!

Wonder Update

We are halfway through our "Wonder" read aloud. Yesterday we read a quote that really stuck with me.. sometimes we need to apologize and say sorry if we have hurt somebody, even though we didn't mean to. They still got hurt!

Math Homework

We are going to bump the Math test to Monday, seeing we had a few away today who didn't get to review for it. Please ensure all the questions are done, so we can use our "Plickers" to review tomorrow. Questions #2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12.

Working With Money

Math Test friday on Adding and Subtracting, estimating, and working with money. Remider: If you want your addition quiz grade improved, I need the quiz back with all corrections by tomorrow! Your money worksheet it due for tomorrow. Here is a review of what we covered today!

Money Money Money

We are continuing to work with money and building change when we buy things at the store.. You are going to buy some toys today and use some fake bills to find the change you would be given back. Remember to practice out with your parents when you are buying groceries, or going out for meals! It will help you get better, so nobody rips you off!

The Bully Goat Grim

I forgot to post this.. but incase you want to watch again.. We love the Bully Goat Grim story!

Visualization and History

Today we did a walk back in time on the same spot, hundreds to thousands to millions of years ago. We worked on visualizing the words as they are read to us, and then checking the pictures to see if it matches what we visualized. It is crazy how much the world can change, and how each spot, like our classroom, could have been underwater, a mountain, or maybe a volcano many, many, MANY years ago (or maybe all of the above).

Crazy Hair Day

Interrupting Chicken

We kick off our Spring into Reading month with an Interrupting Chicken..
Just like our Volcanoes that we've been working on.. this time.. it's an interrupting chicken we have to deal with!

Homework Alert

Students! You have a Venn Diagram to finish for social studies.
You need at least 5 things for "people of the past" and 5 things for "People today." As well as 3 things for the middle section, which is common to both people in the past and people today. You should be writing it in full sentences! I have posted the sheet on Class Dojo if it somehow doesn't make it home, ask your parents!

There are pictures below you can review or check more into if you need help comparing the two!!
