Hey gang, we are clipping along. Our energy is high and our focus is tight. We have been entering into division in math, moving forward with our story keepers project, and diving into a new book.
In division we have been talking about the notion that division is the inverse of multiplication, as well as repeated subtraction. To solidify this understanding we have been writing word problems, evaluating them to see if they are indeed asking us to divide, writing the expression that matches them, and finally solving to find the quotient!
Our work with Natalie Kinsey-Warnock is super exciting. This week we went to the town clerk's office to look at some primary sources, and we saw a Victrola! We will be moving forward with our family research in the coming weeks, and are looking forward to producing and showing off the fruits of this work.
Also, we have started a new book during our read-aloud and writer's workshop. The Tiger Rising, is a beautiful book by Kate DiCamillo. Throughout the course of this book the main characters learn a lot about themselves, and how the world works.
Have a great weekend!
-Dave
