October 23, 2013 Group 3

This week in math we were working on how to divide large numbers like 1,205 by 2,3,5,6,9, and 10. The rule for 2 is the ones digit is a even number. The rule for 3 is the sum of the digits is a multiple of 2. The rule for 5 is the ones digit has to be 5 or 0. The rule for 6 is the ones digit in the number is even and the sum of the digits is a multiple of 3. The rule for 9 is the sum of the digits is a multiple of 9. And finally the rule for 10 is the ones digit is a 0.


This week "Wonder"by R.J Palacoio is amazing. August,Jack, and Summer are at a school special to celebrate certain kids behave in a jolly kind of way. Mr.Tushman the principal is giving a speech about being kinder than is necessary.At the end of the special Mr.Tushman said August's name for various reasons.And August is getting treated fairly.Then, August's point of view in your life is you should get a standing ovationm.Also August is now just a kid in 5 grade.


This week in writing we were working on our thesis statements. For example mine is "kids should be able to have pets." Then once you have your thesis statement, you have to think of three reasons why you think that. The goal is to convince everyone that you are right and people who disagree with you, are wrong. Once you have your three reasons, you think of mini-stories. You need at least three mini-stories in each section. If you can't think of three mini-stories, on your own, you can ask your class mates. I had to ask two of my friends.
