This Week in Class
Math: This week we will begin another chapter centered on Multiplication. We will be working with multiples of 2’s and seeing that when you multiply by two’s, it is similar to adding doubles. We will then move on to learning the multiples of five and associate these facts will skip counting by fives. The students will use number lines,and models to enhance their knowledge of these two factors (2’s and 5’s). The students should continue with the next 4 lessons in their Simple Solutions Books. We will check them on Friday Morning. PLEASE check with your child to be sure they are completing these assignments. Four completed lessons gets a student a PBIS ticket.
