Homework: 

Homework: Monday January 13th

Wow we have some incredibly brilliant kids! I cannot believe how quickly they are picking up all of the multiplication properties. Keeping each of them straight is a challenge. I know that it makes my mind swirl. Tonight, we are working on the associative property. A good way to remember associative is the "hugs" property. Using the associative property we can multiply 3 or more factors in any order. The parentheses, aka the hugs can move around any set of factors and the product will not change. For example (3 x 5) x 2 is the same as 3 x (5 x 2). For homework tonight students will rewrite each problem using the associative property and then solve.

Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a fabulous break and enjoyed some much needed time with family!

I know we made many memories this Thanksgiving and I can't wait to share them with the class. 

Come to school Monday ready to share :) 

This week we will begin our Gingerbread unit. 

During this time we will compare and contrast many different versions of the classic, The Gingerbread Man. Later, we will write our own versions!

Here are some of my favorites: 

Visit the Gresham library to check them out. Remember, if you visit the library bring me a receipt for the books you checked out. Your visit to the library and the books you read earns you  the night with no homework! 

Every two weeks I will send home a class newsletter. You will get a copy in your OWL folder, but you can always view and download from our classroom website, too. Click either picture below to download/view.
