For First Friday, Mrs. Tacconelli led a workshop on weaving. Our students took to it and did quite well. Students took home their looms and can choose to finish their weaving. There is extra yarn in the class if your child wants more. Our thanks to Mrs. Tacconelli, Mrs. Treinen, Mrs. Martin, Ms. Burwell, Mr. Pinciotti, Mrs. Loeb, Ms. Altman, Mrs. Lewis, . Mrs. Wattenbarger, Mrs. Lewandowski and Alex's grandmother for coming and teaching us how to weave!
Here's what's coming next week:
- We have a visit to the Armory on Tuesday. Students are encouraged to wear sneakers as we will run on the track.
- We are beginning our new Math unit on Multiplication Algorithms and Estimation of Large Numbers. This will involve learning different strategies like the partial quotients method and lattice multiplication. Please refer to the Everyday Math Algorithms link for help in learning the methods. It is important that your child becomes secure with the multiplication facts. Please practice daily with your child the multiplication facts that s/he seems to not remember. You can also check the Math links section of this blog for Multiplication games that help your child work quickly with facts.
