Week 10



It was great meeting so many of you this week at conferences! I’m so excited about having such a wonderful group of parents who offer support and encouragement to their kids! Keep up the terrific work!

We are working on multiplying multi-digit numbers and specifically looking at the distributive property of multiplication. Exposure to this property, as well as the commutative property, is foundational to algebra. Below are some samples of what we’ve done in class regarding the different methods and ways of demonstrating understanding.

We’ll be wrapping up our unit on the Solar System soon. Our next unit we will be studying nutrition, and the human digestive system.

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!
