This week, students have been discussing Martin Luther King Jr. They brainstormed what they know about MLK and what they want to know. We then watched a video about about his life and accomplishments and completed a timeline activity. Students then shared what they learned about MLK. Finally, students have been reading a reader's theater called I Have a Dream.
In math, students have been working hard on multiplication. We have discussed the properties of multiplications and observed a variety of patterns that exist when creating equal groups of whole numbers. Students have greatly enjoyed completing gallery walks to explore the work of others and provide positive feedback and suggestions.
Finally, we are continuing our rocks and minerals unit in science. This week, we are discussing the four layers of the earth: crust, mantle, inner core, and outer core.
