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.
