Our Open Court unit on Money is progressing nicely. Students are grappling with three "big" questions in this theme: (1) What is money and why do we have it? (2) How do people earn money? (3) What is the proper use of money? We have discovered quite a bit about the first question, tracing the origins of money from barter economy to debit cards. We are starting to look at issues of business right now, focusing particularly about how even children can make money.
Math takes a huge leap up in difficulty this week as we grapple with two digit quotients in division. If your child knows the times tables well this is a relatively quick procedure to learn; if she or he does not, well it is nearly impossible.
Homework: Read page 328 in the math book. Starting on page 329 do numbers 2 - 54. SHOW ALL WORK.
