PAJAMA DAY!

We will have brunch and Pajama Day
tomorrow, Tuesday November 26th.
Let's get a head start on the Book Project!

November 22nd

ELA:
We finished Eagle Song this week. The students enjoyed learning about a Mohawk boy in modern times. So far we have learned about the traditional beliefs and agreements of the Haudenosaunee, we have read Eagle Song and discussed how the fictional character Danny used the beliefs and agreements of the Haudenosaunee to handle a bullying problem in his school. This week we studied bullying data collected from several schools in New York and New Jersey. Next week we will look at how our school community can benefit from the beliefs and agreements of the Haudenosaunee.

Math:
We have begun a rather lengthy module on multi-digit multiplication and division. This week we related the multiplication arrays and the formula for the area of a rectangle. Next week we will continue this work in word problems and then move into multi-digit multiplication.

Parent Teacher Conferences:
Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us about your child!

Upcoming Book Projects:

• Proposal Sheets due Tuesday November 26th
• New Homework pack will come home on November 26th outlining the project that will be due December 13th
• Students read the book over the break and following week
• Book completion due Friday December 6th
• Book Project due Friday December 13th

This is a fun project and the students have plenty of time to work on it. Encourage your child to plan on completing the project early.

Hello November

ELA: We are excited to start a new book next week, Eagle Song. We will be working on the following learning targets:

• I can connect what I already know about the Iroquois to the ideas in the beginning of Eagle Song.

• I can discuss answers to questions with my group and provide evidence to explain my ideas.

Math: We will continue our work with tape diagrams:

• I can create and solve multi-step word problems from given tape diagrams and equations.
 
• I can use place value understanding to add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm and apply the algorithm to solve word problems using tape diagrams.
