This week in Language Arts, we dove all the way into parts of speech! While we had been familiar with nouns, verbs, and adjectives before, this was when we began to concretize that knowledge. We worked our way through the same set of three sentences, identifying different parts of speech in three different panels. On one particular day when the wiggles were strong, we went outside to the meadow and made a game of it! We raced to Mr. Josh, who then told us a sentence and then asked us to identify either a noun, verb, or adjective. It was friendly competition, and a fun way to keep learning while getting those wiggles out! 

This week in Math, we took our time revisiting borrowing! When we did our assessment packets last week, borrowing was a throughline of challenge for the class, so we took the time to double down and re-firm that skill. We also learned that the rules of borrowing are the same, whether we're calculating regular numbers or calculating money! Wow! Our other major focus this week was the science of multiplication! While we have been using music to memorize the facts, we have now begun learning how to break down a multiplication problem (2x5 means 2 groups of 5). We also discovered that multiplication problems work the same both ways, so when we learn ONE multiplication fact, we're actually learning TWO! How cool is that!?
