TGIF! This week seemed to go pretty quickly but was packed full of information and learning. In Matrh today, we went over our assessment from yesterday and then went on to learn about extended facts. It is super important for our students to know their basic multiplication facts! This unit will be learning how to multiply multiple digit by multiple digit numbers and the only way to be successful is to know and understand the basic facts. The ones that struggled today were the ones that didn't have their basic facts memorized. In Read Aloud, the young boys of the tribe learned how to be strong by jumping into the frozen Cuyahoga River every morning for months. This puzzled the students as to why they would want to do that. In the next part, Mary shows that she has strength too. Maybe they will feel the understanding after that. We then finished our checkpoint writing assessment and practiced our reader's theaters.
