This week in Math we began division! We learned that division is related to multiplication and if you look at the division sentence backwards, you will see the multiplication! We also learned how to make groups to solve a division problem. In Reading we finished up our compare and contrast unit. We read "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and compared and contrasted it to "The Three Snow Bears". We also read a book and article about Martin Luther King Jr. Miss Hunter, our guidance counselor came in and read us a book called "Pumsy". We learned the difference between our "mud minds" and our "clear minds" by doing an experiment with water and food coloring. In Writing we began our informational unit. We picked a topic and wrote a fast draft of everything we knew about our topic. Then, we began to make a Table of Contents of chapters we want to include in our informational books that we are going to write. In Social Studies we started researching our Australian Animals. It is so much fun learning cool facts about them! We had an awesome week!
