Math News
This week we continued multiplying 2-digit numbers with estimation and rounding. We took our test today. Grades are in Parent Portal. Next week we will continue with topic 8 on multiplying 2-digit numbers. We won’t just be estimating this time around. We will learn an algorithm for multiplying 2-digit by 2-digit numbers. We will be doing 2 lessons a day so the test for topic 8 will be around Wednesday, January 27th. Keep practicing those multiplication facts!

In social studies students worked hard and enjoyed creating a timeline in class showing key events that led up to the American Revolution.
