We had a wonderful, busy and exciting week.
We had a special presentation on Monday. Frisbee Rob came and him and his sponsors donated 30 special Frisbees for us to use at school. He also challenged us to put away digital screens (ex: cellphones, TVs, iPads), when you are eating with your family and friends, one hour before bed and at all times in the bedroom.
In Science, we started planning our moving devices. First, we made a rubric to understand what our design needed. We determined what a 2 Needs Tweaking, 3 Standard and 4 A-class designs. Based on the criteria for our design we sketched our moving device, next we labeled the different materials we will needs for the different parts, and we wrote a description about how the device is powered and how the different parts move.

We have read Chapter 2 in the book Ticket to Curlew. In this chapter we learned about that word “deed”. A dead is a contract for ownerships for something, such land.
We had our 2nd Mad Minute this week! We recorded our progress. We will continue working our practicing and trying to beat our previous record. This will help us get better at our mental math.
In Math, we have been doing arrays. We use arrays to group objects in rows and columns. We created arrays using beans by grouping them in rows and columns, then created repeated addition sentences and then turned our repeated addition sentences into multiplication sentences. We tried to make as many different arrays with the beans and drew them in our math booklets.
Next week we will be starting to learn different multiplication strategies. We are starting with the Area Model. Please take the time to practice the the strategy. There are practice questions as well as the solutions below.
