This week in Math we will
continue our Multiplication Unit. We will start our fluency PowerPoint and
learn new strategies for various multiplication facts. We will also create
posters of our strategies we’ve used so far with early multiplication to help
cement our understanding.
·
This week in Science we will continue
our human body unit. Students will have the opportunity to dissect an owl
pellet and compare the rodent bones to human bones! They are very excited
about this! Students will also play “Simon Says” to help reinforce those scientific
bone names. After wrapping up the “Bones” investigation on Tuesday, we will
begin the next investigation in our human body unit, “Joints!”
