Welcome Back and Thank you!

I hope that everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday break. The students were all buzzing this morning having lots of news to share with each other. Thank you for your generosity before break. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the many tasty treats. Sending along a HUGE thank you from my family to yours!

This week in math we are going to review multi-digit multiplication using the area model and do a brief introduction to division and the idea of remainders. We officially wrapped up Unit 2 on this topic before break but I am using these few days back to reteach any areas of confusion. Students will be bringing home some math work this week for you to see. In social studies we are finishing up our study of Vermont history with Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys. 

Looking ahead, we will be starting our unit on fractions and our new science unit will study the Earth with a particular focus on changes in and on Earth's surface.
