Week of August 31st- September 4th
TAG MATH
2nd Grade: Number sense, place value, and group problem solving challenge... All three groups worked together closely to keep the problem solving challenge within a one point difference so we will have to finish the game next week to see which group will prevail! Thank you to parents who helped give helpful tips on homework. The kids loved sharing the fun ways you can solve problems too!
3rd: M3 Factors, multiples, and leftovers- Arrays cover most of the walls in the room now thanks to this active bunch! Remember to keep practicing those math facts throughout this first unit!
4th: Thank you to families who played the factor game with your 4th grader. They worked really hard to be up for the challenge! We had our own tournament in class ending with a final championship today, and the winner, Will, got to take home the coveted homework pass. :)
TAG EXPLORATIONS
2nd: Introduction into inventors unit. What do all inventors have in common? Well we know that they must be curious, determined, dreamers who plan to change the world in some way! I look forward to seeing what our second grade inventors have in mind...
3rd: Creativity Ties will be made next class: please bring small artifacts that inspire creativity to next class. Introduction to the heart unit will begin next class as well. We practiced presentation skills and connecting with an audience this week which we will continue to build on in upcoming classes.
4th: Introduction to Enigma unit. These unexplained phenomenons may soon have the answers we have all been waiting for. Investigations will begin next class! Stay tuned...
