Week of 8.26 - 8.30

This Friday we took our Unit 1 post-test. I am working on grading all the tests and updating the grades to IC. Students worked hard learning the basics of multiplication and division. 
 
This week we will continue to explore multiplication and focus on multiplying by 0,1,2,5, and 10. We will learn and applied the Distribute property of Multiplication and continue to practice the Commutative property of Multiplication. 
 
Have a great week,

Week of 8.19-8.23

Hello Families, 
 
I was able to see our students actively using different strategies for multiplication in class last week! They have been doing a great job diving into math and working together to explore.
 
This week we will be learning and discussing division strategies. We will practice multiplication and division fact families. We will also review multi-digit addition and subtraction with carrying.
 
Have a wonderful week, 
 
Marcela Thomas

Week of 8.12-8.16

Hello families, 
 
Our class had a great first week of school. We got to know each other, and we competed our Pre-Test for 3rd grade. Students did a great job showing RISE.
 
This upcoming week we will do our Unit 1 pre-test and start our first unit. We will be discussing multiplication using equal groups, number lines, and arrays. We will discuss different strategies to find the product of a multiplication equation, and, at the end of the week, we will start introducing division as equal groups.
 
On Friday, students will be taking their MAP math testing.
 
Have a wonderful week, 
 
Marcela Thomas
