Halloween Happenings in Room 49!!!

We have A LOT planned for the end of October.  Take a look:

Friday: Haunted House STEM challenge

Thank you for sending in all the supplies.  

We still need DUCT TAPE to hold our creations together.

Monday: Halloween STEM challenges 9:30-10:30 

It is also CRAZY HAT day.

Your child may bring in a special Halloween snack to enjoy after the activities.

Tuesday: Brownie Points have been earned!  Camp Fontaine will be on Tuesday (the perfect way to unwind after trick or treating the night before!)

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Area Model with Multiplication!

Today in class the students learned how to use the AREA MODEL (box method) to multiply 2 x 1 digits together.  This method shows the students the VALUE of each number in the problem using place value.  This method is very helpful to learn, especially as we prepare for 2 x 2 digit multiplication.  Click HERE to see a video reviewing the AREA MODEL -this video can be helpful for both students and parents.

RIP....Said is Dead!

RIP Boring Words!

Students worked together (using a thesaurus) to find "new and improved" words to replace boring adjectives.  This display is right outside the school office.  Check it out if you stop by!  Thank you to Miss McConville for putting the display case together.   

Magazines Needed!

We are collecting magazines for a variety of classroom projects.  If you have any that could be donated to the classroom it would be greatly appreciated!
