Language/Novel Study: We began Lesson 8 today. We continued reading our novel "The Little House in the Big Woods" by Laura Ingalls Wilder. We read chapter 4 now! The students and I created a Venn diagram to compare how we celebrate Christmas versus how Laura and her family celebrated Christmas.   

Recess/Lunch

Math:. Today we began exploring multiplication and the use of arrays!

For every array you must write out the multiplication sentence, the equation in words, addition sentence, and sentence of describing the array.

For example in this array:

Sentence describing the array: We always look at the rows (which go from side to side) and count how many items are in each row.    -->  4 rows of 2 = 8

Multiplication sentence- 4 x 2 = 8

Addition sentence- 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8

Equation in words: We always look at the rows separated like picture groups and count how many items are in each row.  -->  4 groups of 2 = 8

We did a few examples on the board and from the textbook!

Recess/Lunch.

UOI: We read about the four-different type of homes that pioneers lived in. Log cabins, plank houses, sod house and stone house. We each took turns reading different parts of the story. We answered the comprehension questions independently, checked our work with a partner when we were done and took them up as a class.
