Monday

Students received their spelling lists this morning and we reviewed the spelling words with each group. Then we went to computers. We had to use key covers for some of the students as they are struggling not to look down the entire time. In math we added 1000s to our partial group multiplication. The students seem to be comprehending this new way to multiply very quickly. We were actually able to do two lessons today because they are moving so quickly. We will, eventually, teach the standard algorithm for multiplication. However, using this one makes it much easier for the student to actually understand what they are doing with the standard algorithm

Please work on addition, subtraction and multiplication facts with your students. They really need to feel more confident with these numbers.
