Hello All,
Welcome back!  I imagine you all had a terrific vacation. It seemed long (in a good way!)

Over the next several weeks we will continue exploring various division and multiplication strategies, including the standard algorithm we've all grown accustomed to. Here's a video on the topic:
Common Core Math
In Social Studies, we'll read the text about missions, and then begin research projects about missions. The at-home portion of the project is scheduled for about 3 weeks from today, with more info. to follow.

We continue to use pencils and dry erase pens at an amazing rate. After we use up the thick pens, I'm shifting to the thin ones as they seem to work better for math. Any donations of these 2 items, as well as Kleenex and prize box supplies, are welcomed!

Finally, while it was way back in 2014, a big thank you to the parents who organized and attended our class party. The kids had a terrific time! In addition, thank you all for my class gift. It was fun to spend!

Take care,
Carroll Mayer
