Quick Update

Math:

Our in-class learning about multiplication is over for now but I still encourage students to practise their multiplication facts at home! Here are some easy ideas:

-play multiplication war with a deck of cards
-visit a multiplication website and play games (see under "websites" for the links)
-make flash cards for multiplication facts that you do not have memorized
-make up a song/rap about the multiplication facts that you do not have memorized

Spelling:

Our first spelling test with the new program will be Monday, March 6th. There will be 20 words randomly chosen from the first 3 spelling sorts.
