Miss Jackson’s Class Weekly News Central Avenue School What We Learned This Week… Math – This week we divided by two-digit numbers and with four-digit and five-digit quotients. We also practiced solving word problems by drawing diagrams and learned what to do when there is a remainder in the answer. 11/11 – 11/15 Dates to Remember Thursday 11/21 Math Clinic 8:10 am Friday 11/22 Spirit Day – Pajama Day Reading – We began our mystery unit this week. We learned about mystery elements, vocabulary, and story structure. In our notebooks, we also kept track of important events and clues in our mystery books. Writing – We discussed persuasive essays and gathered topics that “bug” us. Then we came up with reasons that support our opinions and strengthened our opinions by defending them against a partner’s counterarguments. November Birthdays Caleb – 11/11 Jack – 11/14 Science – After presenting our 3-D pond life critters, we began our unit on simple machines. We discussed the six different types and then completed an activity where we calculated the work done on objects as we applied a force.
