Wednesday

In English we studied capitalization of titles and places. Students worked on their vocabulary words and finally we read our story. We did not take our spelling pre-test today, but we will do that tomorrow. During math we did something interesting. We would take the factors 3 x 16 and then double one number and halve the other number. This made the multiplication easy to do. So, we took 3 and doubled it and took 16 and halved it and got 6 x 8 and then realize that both equal 48. It is an easier way to multiply numbers from difficult products to more manageable products.

This afternoon we went to see the middle school play. The actors did a good job and our class, most of them, behaved well.
