Man, another week, another bunch of learning and hard work. This week we have been working on multiplication of digit and one digit numbers. The foundation for this is fluency in one digit by one digit multiplication facts. All next week your students will be coming home with homework to practice "products," and "factors." They know how to play these games, so just ask them to explain how the game works, and enjoy!
We also have finished our narrative writing unit. We will be compiling and sending home some of this work today, loo for it in the Friday folders. We are also getting ready to dive into a unit on VT state symbols and research. Be prepared to hear alot about the Hermit Thrush and the Morgan Horse.
This week also saw the continuation of our discussion protocols with Mrs. Christy. We are working toward independence and student led and facilitated discussions. In the future we hope to have students select the protocol that will be most appropriate for them to use based on what they are discussing, or what their goal for discussion is.
Student reflections from the week: Students have really enjoyed art and PE this week. Many students had a bunch of fun at the monster mash, many are looking forward to Halloween, and finally we are having an all school celebration today and kids are stoked!
Have a great weekend,
Dave
