Language: We continued reading our novel "The Little House in the Big Woods" by Laura Ingalls Wilder. We read chapter 6 now! We spoke about why they would trade fur for items and how that was like how we use money now. We worked on reflection questions based on chapters 5 and 6. 

Recess/Lunch

Math:. Today we multiplying by 1, 0 and 10s! We discussed many different strategies and did a ton of examples on the board! The students really had fun with this lesson, everyone was able to complete all the textbook questions without any assistance. Bravo class!

Multiplying by 1:

Pretend the 1 is like a mirror and the answer will always be the reflection if the other number (or with our math vocabulary “factor”). So, 5 x 1 = 5

Multiplying by 0:

Pretend the zero is like a black hole and it makes whatever factor that is being multiplied to it disappear! So, 3 x 0 = 0

Multiplying by 10:

We practiced a few different strategies for this one like repeated addition, skipping counting and using place value. 

Recess/Lunch.

UOI: Today we starting working on making our pioneer homes! The students were very enthusiastic about this craft!
