Adding figurative language to your writing is a piece of cake. You are experts at finding metaphors, similes alliteration, personification, hyperbole, and onomatopoeia!
Now, we are going to learn about IDIOMS.
and to look for when you are reading.

Final STEM Challenge!
Our Feathered Friends
Birds have feathers, wings, lay eggs and are warm blooded. They also have hollow bones which help them fly. Some bird species, like crows, are intelligent enough to create and use tools!
For more information about birds, watch the video below!
There are around 10,000 different species of birds worldwide. More than 500 bird species have been observed in Washington State.

Multiply & Divide Decimals with The Power of 10!
This week we're SUPER excited to learn about the SUPER Power of Ten! Using exponents is an efficient way to write numbers that have a few too many zeeeeeros.
The exponent (or power) tells us how many zeros are in the number when the base number is 10.
The image below has a place for everything with everything in its place. The base can be any whole number, but today we are only focusing on the POWERS of TEN!
Here are the vocabulary words for this lesson:
powers of ten
base number
exponent
Multiplying and dividing using Powers of 10 is SUPER fun!
When multiplying a decimal number by a power of ten, just count how many zeros you have and move the decimal to the RIGHT!

When dividing a decimal number by Powers of 10, just look at the exponent or count how many zeros you have. Then, move the decimal to the LEFT!

Multiplying Decimals & Whole Numbers
Remember, when you multiply, you are really just adding equal groups!
MULTIPLICATION:
a mathematical operation where
a number is added to itself a number of times.

HANDS ON LEARNING!
You can use Base Ten Blocks to "solve and show" decimal multiplication problems!
