Spaghetti Dinner, Arrays and October Number Corner!

Reminder: The PTO's spaghetti dinner is this Friday night! It runs from 5:00-7:00 and the Scholastic Book Fair will be open for shopping during this time. I hope to see many of you there!

The PTO is still looking for donations and help for Friday night: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0b44ada828a4f85-spaghetti

Today we did a project during our math block. We have been working hard thinking about arrays and how they help us understand the connection between addition and multiplication. We had to make a picture using only arrays. At the end we figured out how many total square units were in our picture, using our knowledge of multiplications and arrays to help. 










Look at the wide range of pictures! We had Pikachu, Adam's name, a drum set, some city skylines, some houses, some people and a Minecraft character! 


 In Number Corner this month, we have been collecting two things! We have been pouring 250ml of water into a liter bottle for each day of the month, as well as collecting information about two dimensional shapes on our calendar grid. Students have been asked to predict how many liter bottles will be filled by the end of the month! We had some great guesses! Measurement is a perfect thing to talk about at home, particularly when you are cooking and baking!
