Week 11 Announcements

Dear Families,

We had a good time for the Book Character Day on Friday. As a part of our Sinclair traditions, we dressed up for our characters and had a parade. We shared some sweets thanks to Dante, Lily and Raegan  (Halloween tattoos, M&Ms and Candies Treats). 

This coming week in math class we will be working on 2 digit multiply by 1 digit, then focusing on representing and solving one and two step problems involving addition and subtraction. In science we will be comparing day to day weather changes in different locations. Students will be able to learn how to conduct their own weather project.

Be safe at Trick or Treat!

Dear families,

Last week we studied the concept of multiplication and its various representations.  This included repeated addition, equal groups, skip counting, skip jumping on a number line, arrays, and area models. This week we will be diving in to find the quotient and study how to use fact families to find an unknown number.  

Week 10 focus:

1. SEL - Bully Free
2. Use a variety of strategies  to develop fluency and automaticity with multiplication and division facts
3. Find the fact families
4. Determine the unknown number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers when the unknown is either a missing fact or product.
5. Science - Explore different forms of energy, including light, sound and heat in everyday life
6. Thursday - WITs, writers in school
7. Friday-- Character Day

Cheers
