Long Multiplication

We are working on long multiplication with decimals in the classroom for math this week.  Many students are struggling with this concept due to not remembering how to perform the algorythm.  Below are two short videos from "Teacher Tube" that demonstrate how to solve these types of problems.  Please view them if you are struggling with getting the correct answers.
Please comment below if you viewed these videos! :))
Good luck-

This second video shows multiplying with decimals.  It's a bit longer, but I like it because she starts off easy and then each problem gets more challenging.  If you're struggling with harder problems they are towards the middle of the video.

December book choice

The December book choice Google Doc is up and ready for you.

It is located on the right side of the blog under the section of links marked "Web Projects"
Please type in your next WEB book by Thursday!!!! No exceptions.

Please leave the font style as it is and leave the color black.  Making fancy changes makes the google doc load exceptionally slow here at school.  Thank you!

Where in the World is the Westwood Wildcat - November 7

Okay, the wildcat is off hiding once more this week.  K18 was the only one that offically found him last week.  Many of you were close at Yellowstone National Park, but didn't get where in the park he was located. 
Remember that wildcat can be sneaky so read your clues closely.

Clue #1
The wildcat has traveled to the eastern hemisphere of the globe.  He is approximately at 30 degree line of latitude.

Guesses?

DARE Graduation

Today we had a wonderful day celebrating the DARE graduation of our 5th grade students.  :))  The graduation was followed by pizza lunch and cake. (generously donated by the PTO) Students had some time outside and we played some games in the classroom.

Thank you to Officer Gustis for the wonderful DARE experience and thanks to those family and community members that took time from their day to celebrate with us.  Here are some photos from our day.

Have a good weekend,

Mrs. Wagner  :)
