Geography Bee:

Math:
- We measured how tall we were using multiple towers. We measured our height in the number of multiples we were! AD
- We are working on our multiplication facts. We used our multiplication cards to figure out which ones we know and which ones we need to work on. We are working on them! GG
- We are continuing to learn about factors, prime numbers, and multiples. BW
- We talked about which number had more factors, 24 or 25? We determined that a larger number does NOT mean that it will have more factors than a SMALLER number. LK

- Miss Sproch gave us some holiday math problems to work on. BV

Hour of Code:

Science:

Reading:
- We started the SPROCHSTAR READING & ATTITUDE CHALLENGE. Every night we have a challenge that we are trying to meet! LD
- We are reading partner books and looking for lessons and themes within them! CJ
- When you are writing about a lesson your book is teaching you, it is important to use evidence from the text to prove your idea. We are using what we know about essays to help us write about lessons! JW
- When you are writing about a lesson you have to say when you should do this and why you should do this! BV
- We read the "Empty Pot" and "A Days Work" and we noticed they had the same theme but taught different lessons! JE
- We are reading Land of Stories... Alex is started to get really weird and is acting out of character! Something BIG is about to happen! DR
