Be on the lookout for information coming home about our Book Character Pumpkin Book Report! For this fun and creative project, students will choose their favorite book character, decorate a pie-sized pumpkin to look like that character, and complete a short book report about their story.
This is a wonderful opportunity for families to work together and get creative while celebrating a love of reading!
A few reminders:
Pumpkins must be pie-sized (small).
No holes, carving, blood, or gore — decorations only!
Characters and books must be school appropriate.
Pumpkins that do not meet these guidelines will be returned home that day.
All finished pumpkins will be proudly displayed in the library for everyone to enjoy!
This activity is for fun and not for a grade. It is optional.

Multiplication and Division Basics
Unit Summary: October 14-November 21
Students represent multiplication facts through the use of context. These contextual situations provide real-life experiences and enable students to contstruct multiplication models (concrete, pictorial, and area models), equal groups arrays, strip diagrams, and equations in a relevant way. Students explore the commutative, distributive, and associative properties of multiplication in order to provide the foundation needed to learn, retain and apply basic multiplication facts up to 10 x 10.
Students use the sharing or partitioning model, as well as repeated subtraction model, to connect understandings about multiplication to division. Through concrete and pictorial models of equal groups, arrays, and area models, students explore the mathematical relationships within and between multiplication and division. Students use multiplication and division facts, to construe division models. Various strategies, including the inverse relationship, are applied to solve contextual one-step multiplication and division problems with products and dividends within 100.
Students are introduced to the divisibility rule of 2 and/or partitioning into two equal groups to determine if a number is odd or even.
