In math today, students helped to complete a 12 by 12 multiplication table. This was a good chance to review and talk about any patterns or strategies to help students solve these problems. We also began work on an order of operation poster which will serve as a reminder of PEMDAS.

In social studies, students dug deeper into latitude and longitude. We are about to begin out next unit on the first peoples to arrive in North America.

Tomorrow we begin our work with the novel Bud Not Buddy. I enjoyed reading this book and think that my class will as well.

I look forward to meeting any parents or family members who attend curriculum night this evening.
