For the last few days we have been working on a class mission statement. The students had to answer the question "Why do we come to school?" I collected all of their answers and we came up with a few common themes: learn, prepare for our future and make friends. Today we brainstormed and created our mission statement. I think it sounds pretty amazing!!!
This week we are starting Unit 2 in math. This entire unit focuses on multiplication with whole numbers. The students will be learning how to multiply large numbers using area models. This might be a new concept to the students and also to the parents, so I found this video that explains exactly how area models work with multiplication.
