Telling Time To The Nearest Minute and Elapsed Time
We are learning to tell time to the nearest minute and elapsed time. A fun way to help your student practice telling time is to use your weekend schedule (how long until the game, lunch, birthday party, etc.)

Group Work Time...WOO HOO!!!!
Today the kids worked in groups to "RDW" a word problem. They had to work as a group to read the question, draw it out, solve it and write an answer sentence. After they finished they had to present it to the class, explaining the process they used to figure out the answer.

Class "Pet"
We found a praying mantis outside yesterday...so of course we decided he needed a new home. Today we fed him some crickets and watched him "attack" his prey. The kids were so excited to experience nature up close. We talked about the traits and adaptations of the praying mantis. 
Tape Diagrams and Number Bonds
We use both of these strategies for multiplication and division. We also use number bonds to show the distributive (break-apart) property of multiplication.

Bird Beak Experiment
Today we learned about how different birds have different beaks. We had discussions about how the type of beak helps a bird eat different types of foods. These bird traits are just a few of the traits that we have discussed in this science unit.
