week #4

Week #4

We had a great week!  We have been working really hard in both subjects, even though we had a short week!  

This week we moved in to division.  We worked on 1- digit divisors for the majority of the week, including story problems where we needed to figure out what to do with our remainders.  Today, we grouped ourselves by self assessing...we grouped by 1 digit divisors and 2 digit divisors (which is a new concept).  As students caught on with 1 digit divisors, they transitioned to our two digit divisor group.  We ended our class on Friday by doing a quick check on a post-it to see how everyone was doing.  Based on the results, we will create three small groups for our work on Monday. 

This week in science, we worked on the scientific method.  We complete a couple of experiments and then learned how we would put this in to a presentation (like science fair).  The students completed a Skittles experiment today, which they will then use their information to create a mini-board on Monday.  We will then progress in to Life Science.
