In math we are learning about arrays: A set that shows equal groups in rows and columns. Arrays in rectangles or squares help us gain the foundations for multiplication as repeated addition. Look for arrays in your world and in your home and share them with the class. Please take pictures and email them to me so we can share them with the class. Tmontes@wcusd200.org Thanks!
Here is a link to some of the videos we have watched in class on YouTube. I encourage you to visit these sites with your child. One of them is a Minecraft example that shows arrays. Now I know most of the children are all about Minecraft, so I thought this would be a fun activity to connect to their virtual world. Please watch the video (Only needed up to about 1:30 to get the example) and take a picture of an array you created in Minecraft and email it to me. We will post

Thank you, Collin for sending in your array!
We are winding down our last couple days before break. We are enjoying our culture unit with the literacy component Cinderella stories from around the world. Our focus is on the lesson we can learn from these stories and comparing and contrasting the different events and characters. Even the boys are enjoying these stories. :) Our Opinion writing response will be to convince me which princess is most deserving of marrying the prince. Some have already formed their opinions, but we will see how convincing the children are!
Spelling and vocabulary test is Friday. Please review the spelling and culture words here on the blog. A list has also gone home.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Montes
