November 12 Weekly Pineapple

MATH: We tested on multiplying decimals this week. Then, students begain learning about division. We focused on how multiplication and division relate. Next week we will start long division.

SCIENCE: We learned about Ocean Floors and Zones. We also learned about which animal goes where in the ocean. 

ELA: This week in ELA, we continued analyzing characters in a story.  Using what we learned with analyzing characters, we wrote a letter to our past selves to analyze how we've changed over time. 

SOCIAL STUDIES: No SS this week 

We are working towards students being independent thinkers and learners. We are noticing that a lot of students are following others' inappropriate actions instead of being leaders. Please help up by reminding your child to focus on themself and not encourage, support or join in with any negative behaviors around them. Thank you!

Math Facts:

Our next four math units are counting on students knowing their multiplication tables. Please, please stress this to your child and encourage them to practice their multiplication facts from 1-12 at home.
