This morning, we shared good beginnings from the books we looked through in the library. Some were funny, others were very mysterious!
We also completed page 87 in the math journal for morning work, along with a spelling review sheet.
During math, we talked about the Commutative Property of Multiplication, which means that it doesn't matter what order the factors are in, the answer is still the same. Please look below to get an idea of what we did.
We talked about the terms factor and product:
We also used "dot paper" to draw arrays. It was a way for us to model multiplication problems. You'll see dot paper in the power point above. We sketched over the dots like this:
This afternoon we had a Caught Ya review, too. Surprise! You can take that when you come back.
We also worked in our small groups, researching the Timucua. The Clothing and Decoration group finished reading about jewelry and tattoos. We were finishing up our notes on the tattoos when we ran out of time. Please read and take notes in that same area as well.
The Families and Children group not only finished reading their chapter on children, they also finished all of their notes. They even started planning what their glogs subjects would be!
Mrs. Hanneke worked with the Food and Medicine group this afternoon. She told me they read one section of the "Food" chapter and took notes. I will ask her to clarify what section that was and I'll get back to you.
From 2-3 this afternoon, we worked with Mrs. Driscoll in our "All About Berkeley" groups. Some were ready for filming, but your groups will have to wait to film until you come back. You are a necessary part of the film! :)
We all hope you are feeling better!
