There was lots of excitement in the air when the Legos came out. We put them in equal groups, took a break and worked through the algorithm. We are making progress!
Today we used Legos to better understand the concept of division while practicing the algorithm to divide three digit numbers by one digit. There was lots of excitement in the air when the Legos came out. We put them in equal groups, took a break and worked through the algorithm. We are making progress!

My students worked so hard last week. We have completed the state testing!
Now, we are completing the final iReady Math Diagnostic. Our goal is at least 100% growth for the year. With 30 students done, we are doing well. After reading the book, the class took the AR quiz for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Then we watched the original movie while eating a few sweet snacks.
As a class, we have read over 16 million words. Great job scholars! I am so proud of my students. They are tackling the CASSPP testing with determination and perseverance. Despite some difficult problems, they are working hard and doing their best. Language Arts is next week!
Using Mystery Science, we used marbles to study motion. This is a great story of a boy, his Grandfather and a loyal dog. The ending gets me every time. We had to pass out some tissues for a few tears. Great book!
Today we read and discussed a great article in our Interactive Text - A World Without Worlds. Then we had a great discussion on the importance of rules and what happens when we disagree about the rules.
We continue to learn about fractions. Today we worked with partners using fraction strips. Then we added some important notes to our math notebooks.
Here are some videos of the energy lesson we finished today. This week we are using Kahoot competitions to test our understanding of fractions. It's a great way to make learning fun and engaging. Check out our Top Five!
Yesterday, we started the last science unit on motion and energy. The students had a great time testing two different types of rubber bands. They learned how energy is stored.
All thirty-three students in my class met or exceeded their AR goal. Lots of reading and lots of quizzes. Hard work pays off!
After many months of work, we met our goal of reading 10 million words as a class. Time for a party!
