"The more that you read, the more things you will know,
the more that you'll learn, the more places you'll go."

This week has been an awesome week in school! In Math we started Multiplication! We learned three strategies to solve multiplication problems. We learned how to use repeated addition, how to make groups, and how to use arrays. We continued our continent research in Social Studies. We found facts with our groups and used them to make a poster of our continent. In Writing, we worked on using a drafting booklet to separate our stories into pieces. We started by drawing different scenes of our narrative stories from beginning to end. This will help us learn how to make paragraphs. Miss Saburro continued reading Gooseberry Park to us. We used graphic organizers to describe the traits of the characters in the story. We also worked on summarizing what we have read so far. Today, we had a visit from Happy and her dog Oliver. He is a Bernese Mountain Dog. She taught us all about New Zealand and showed us a really cool power point. She also told us all about her dog Oliver and how he helps children. It was a really fun!
