Multiplying by 10, 100, 1000,.......1,000,000,000,000

In Reading we talked about the importance looking at the details of a story. The details will give us clues about characters and about the lessons the author is trying to teach us. We applied those details to our Reading groups.

In Math we made great progress and came up with rules for multiplying by 10, 100, 1,000, and so on. We also came up with a method to multiply by multiples of 10,100, and 1,000. For example: 111 X 40 is (111 X 4) X 10. These are great shortcuts to help us solve problems mentally.

In Electives we split up into our groups for the first time. In Technology we started looking at the parts of a camera and then we started working with taking pictures with the tablets. In Band, we talked about how to bring our instruments to school, how to tune them, and how to use both our hands when playing.
