Another Great Week!

The students are working hard and settling into the daily routines. We have an exciting week coming up with our Monday Brunch, Wednesday Open House and Curriculum Presentation, and our Friday field trip to the 8 Square Schoolhouse.

 Our Haudenosaunee Unit is underway and the students are working very hard. We are working on the following learning targets:

• I can notice new ideas and wonder about the lives of people long ago.

• I can answer questions using specific details from a text.

• I can demonstrate what I know by contributing to discussions.

 

• I can use details and examples from the Iroquois Constitution when explaining what specific passages say or mean.

In math we are working on place value. The work that you see coming home is probably new and perhaps a little confusing. I have embedded a video that shows the place value chart and dots (or disks) that we are learning to use in class. If you are reading this from the paper newsletter, the video can be accessed on www.msmartindale.blogspot.com. If you do not have internet access and would like to the view the video, please contact me so I can make arrangements for you!

 

Our math learning targets are:

 

Place Value of Multi-Digit Whole Numbers Lesson 1: Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison. Lesson 2: Recognize a digit represents 10 times the value of what it represents in the place to its right. Lesson 3: Name numbers within 1 million by building understanding of the place value chart and placement of commas for naming base thousand units. Lesson 4: Read and write multi-digit numbers using base ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.
