- Thank you to all the parent helpers and contributors to our fall party. What a wonderful afternoon of games, crafts, parade, and food. Thank you for spoiling us.
Needed: highlighter markers! Students are noticing and highlighting rich language and strong vocabulary in text and many don't have the tools to do this with. I'm happy to share, but many highlight markers are running out of ink. We would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Here is the link to Mega Math. Feel free to continue exploring the sight!
Focus on the multiplication games. The better you know your facts, the easier daily math will be for you!
1. Math: Students will continue to bring home math pages to complete from their math homework book. These pages need to be completed and turned in the next day. Keeping up with this important work supports the learning we are doing in class.
2. We've been working on writing and showing our thinking in Math. Please read the example below and then complete a math writing on the problem given. This is due Friday, November 2nd.
Example Problem #1
Mary is crazy about books! She has a bookshelf in her room with 7 shelves. Each shelf holds 46 books. How many books does Mary have in her "library" altogether?
Example of Math writing to the above problem:
To solve this problem I knew I needed to multiply because I saw the clue words altogether, each, and how many. Then I multiplied 6 x 7 = 42 then I mulitplied 40 x 7 = 280. Then I knew to add zero to equal 280. Next, I added to 280 + 42 = 322. That is how I got the answer 322. That's how I know Mary has 322 books on her shelf.
40 6
x 7 x 7
____ ____
280 + 42 = 322 books
#2 Your problem:
Sally collected sea shells each morning for a week while she was visiting her grandmother. By the end of the week she had collected 5 buckets of shells. In each bucket she had 42 shells. How many shells does Sally have altogether?
