Math Explorations and Narrative Writing

We started unit 5 (in math) today by doing some explorations. Unit 5 will cover 2-D and 3-D shapes. A parent letter, explaining this unit, was sent home today. Please keep this as a reference. It has ideas for practice at home, along with the answers to the homework for the unit.


Exploration A: Sharing Equally (introduction to division)



Exploration B: Attribute Blocks: What's My Rule?



Exploration C: Clock Concentration (matching game)


Before Thanksgiving break we were working really hard on our expository (information) writing. Today, I introduced narrative (story) writing. We will be working on narrative writing until winter break.

Please don't forget to return the report card envelope, signed. This lets me know that you did look at your child's report card. The report card stays at home.

I hope you all had a relaxing Thanksgiving break. Now...if only we could get some snow!
