Turkey Project

 Your child brought home a "Turkey Project" today. Here is a copy of the directions.

This week we worked hard to learn about arrays and multiplication. We learned how about various strategies to help us remember our X facts,  we named the properties of X, and we have begun breaking arrays apart in order to think about X using the Distributive Property. We went to Mrs. Yoo's class to learn some fun new math games and we played X games on the computer. 



















We are also working to publish our Personal Narratives and wrap-up our unit on Character Traits.







Next Month:

SS= Government Case Study
Science= Rocks & Minerals
Reading= Non-fiction
