We had an awesome first week back at school after our vacation! In Math we reviewed Multiplication and practiced story problems. We practiced the steps to solve each problem by underlining the question, circling the important information, showing our work, and labeling our answers. Today we had our unit test on Multiplication. In Reading we continued to practice comparing and contrasting. We used a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast Dolphins and Porpoises and Frogs and Toads after reading articles. In Writing we started our informational writing unit. We picked a topic and used our five fingers as an organizer to teach our classmates about our topic. We tried to talk like experts and tell them everything we knew! In Social Studies we read about our Australian animals and began to write down some facts from our books. We really loved starting "Just Dance" in P.E. class. We each had a team and had to dance to get points for our team. It was so much fun!
