In Math on Monday we continued working on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers, up to 4-digit by 3-digit (5.NBT.5). We've realized that it's the simple mistakes that are costing us to get these problems wrong. Not adding enough zero placeholders or confusing our multiplication facts, for example. Mrs. Elliott wasn't kidding all those times she preached about us HAVING to know our multiplication facts!
In Science, we are continuing our discussion of ecosystems. Our essential question this week: "Is the lion really king of the jungle?" We discussed how lions don't even live in the jungle, but the savannah instead, with special adaptations that allow them to remain dominant at the top of the food chain: sharp claws, powerful legs, strong jaws, etc.
In Social Studies, we wrapped up Chapter 5, Routes of the Early European Explorers, by taking our summative assessment, or post-test. Hopefully we all did well!
