Maximum Model Division With Regrouping Monday

Thank you Ian J., for sending this very appropriate title. It arrived via Edmodo this weekend. He was definitely thinking ahead!

So, we did model division with regrouping today.  We only got to a few problems, but your child should have good notes to help with the homework and practice this evening.

We also read Hurricanes in Journeys. This week we will be learning more about text and graphic features.  We will zoom in on suffixes -ment, -nent, -less and -ful, and we will do some independent/guided research on hurricanes.  We will not have a spelling test, but we will practice using the words from this week's list.  We will have have our usual L.A. test on Friday.

Today we discussed Empathy.  We talked about what it means to be empathetic. We compared empathy to sympathy. At Disney, we are in such a unique position. Disney families have the opportunity to meet and know people with different cultural, racial and religious backgrounds.  We talked about how exploring different points of views can help us understand one another. We talked about finding commonalities in spirit.   We talked about ways that we can productively discuss unfairness in the world.  We talked about being sensitive to other cultures that we may not fully understand. We talked about ways to build bridges to one another. We did a craft to help us remember how to plant and grow into empathetic adults.



This evening at home....

  • Please sign the Chapter 3 Math test. Kids who scored below 85% should do corrections. Corrections must show all of the steps and should be done on a separate sheet of paper. They are due on Monday.
  • Please look for and read the Gingerbread Math sheet. This special activity is a favorite! Read the sheet and you will know why!
  • Reread Hurricanes and complete the graphic organizer " 6 Things."
