The kids will publish their 2nd information book and we may get to host an information fair to celebrate our work!

Math

What happened to math class?

We will continue studying multiplication facts and patterns. We have gotten through all the math facts 1-10 as far as instruction goes. Please keep practicing with the Multiplication and Division Facts Practice. We will begin to look at the connection between Multiplication and Division and start thinking about division as equal groups or equal sharing.

Social

Studies

The students will continue studying the history of early settlement in California and the southwest United States as well as the relationships both good and bad between early settlers and Native Americans.

Science

The kids will keep looking at forces. We will read about the forces involved in tug-of-war.

Thank you,

Mr. Gray
