We continued learning multiplication in Math this week. We learned the Commutative, Distributive, Identity and Zero Properties of Multiplication. We also practiced facts and learned a new game called "Multiplication Roll'Em". In Writing, we learned how to add quotations to the dialog in our stories. We also learned how to make paragraphs. We finished editing and began writing our final copies of our Narratives. We are excited to share them with our families at the Holiday Party! In Social Studies we read a book called "Are We There Yet". It was about a family who traveled along the coast of Australia. We traced their route on our own map of Australia and learned about each place along the way. One place we thought was really cool was Uluru, the immense rock in the outback. In Reading, we continued to read Gooseberry Park. We continued to study character traits and write summaries of the chapters. We love the book and are almost at the end.
