Today we are collaborating with Mrs. Salevsky’s class and introducing our beetles and isopods to the students.

We've spent a lot of time the past two weeks learning U.S. Traditional Multiplication. My job was to expose the students to a new way to multiply. Now, it's their job to decide what method of multiplication is best for them!

When students take the initiative to help each other...you’ve got something special going on in the classroom. Love seeing this!

Today in Math, we reviewed and practiced partial quotients division for dividing whole numbers.

Mr. Moore's HR set a new class record for our average number of correct basic facts in one minute with 34.3 at an accuracy rate of 98%! Starting to see the automaticity with our basic facts!!!

Today in Math, students solved division number stories and practiced interpreting remainders. They could ignore the remainder or round the quotient up.

***ASSESSMENT ALERT*** We will have our Unit 2 Assessments on Monday and Wednesday of next week. We're not assessing on Tuesday because of American Education visits.

Today in Math we reviewed for our Unit 2 assessment using the Red, Yellow, & Green strategy that @kvmathteach shared with us yesterday. Students labeled the questions Red, Yellow, & Green. They did the Red questions first with support.

Today we worked on our defined stem project, "It's My Party." Students are planning all aspects of a sleepover, including finding the area of a living room and the furniture and sleeping bags that they'd have in the room to see how many friends they could fit.

New class record for my HR today for our timed test...Class average of 36.1 correct answers in a minute with a 98% accuracy rate! Lots of work this week with Mash Dash for 9's seems to have paid off!!! Proud of this awesome group of kids.

Miss Milardo's HR stepped up too! New class record for their group with 34.5 correct answers in a minute at an accuracy rate of 98%. Very proud of their hard work. #mathdashworks
