Happy Terrific Tuesday!! We started today off with P.E. at 8:30. It was nice that it wasn't so hot and was cool this morning. In reading, we discussed our own experiences and when we have helped or been helped by others. Then we read/discussed the first chapter in our Theme Reader " Kids Reach out". We realized our purpose for reading this was to better understand the theme and focus question for the week. The story discussed ways kids help others. Then we talked in small groups about projects we would want to start to help others! WOW, they had GREAT ideas and huge genuine hearts. To better understand our vocabulary we broke off into groups and presented a vocabulary word by showing or telling us what the word looked like. For language we worked with synonyms and practiced. For math we corrected "Place Value Patterns" as a class and practiced more on white boards. We then moved on with multiplying by 10,100,1,000. We did LOTS of practice with this. When we multiple a number by 10, 100, 1,000 we count the zeros and move the decimal the number of zeros to the right so the number get bigger. Here are some examples of some problems we did:
4.23 X 1000 (move the decimal 3 place since there are 3 zeros)=4,230
0.62 X 10 (move the decimal 1 place since there is 1 zero)=6.2
This afternoon we discussed and honored 9/11. It is hard to believe that this tragedy took place 11 years ago and these kiddos were just babies!
For $20 tomorrow write the answer to 124.3 X 100 =
