Thanks for the Postcards

Thank you to everyone who sent our class postcards or has asked friends or relatives to send them.  We are off to a great start and have received 7 different states so far!  Please ask friends and relatives to write a few facts about the state, so we can learn about the country.  We have received quite a few blank cards which are great, but it is nice for the kids to learn a few facts from each one.

Post cards can be mailed to Miss Beauchesne's Class
                                            Stratham Memorial School
                                            39 Gifford Farm Road
                                            Stratham, NH 03848

Thank you so much for your help with this project!  We will continue to collect through the end of the year.

Pictures of Factor Flip and Multiple Challenge

Last week we practices finding factors and multiples in many different ways.  One of the kids' favorite games was Factor Flip.

Some students also worked on this challenge problem to find where the best spot was to stand in the fair line by using multiples.  They showed many different ways to solve this problem.

Book Groups are Meeting

On Friday, the students were divided into groups for the book groups which we are doing for the month of November.  Each child received a copy of the book and a calendar with the day's their group will be meeting along with the chapters they should have read.  If your child forgets their calendar I have attached a copy of each groups below.  They will meet on the * days and they need to have the chapters listed on that day done by the time they come to school on that day.  I am strongly encouraging students to write down thoughts or questions on while they are reading to share with their group.  They are all excited to get started this week.
