We will work on reading our reports on Fri. 2/23 as we prepare for the culture presentations the following week.  Your child should have brought home a paper detailing the project for their culture presentation. Please email me with any questions!

We will spend this week continuing to explore area and decomposing larger, irregular shaped rooms into smaller squares and rectangles to find the total area. A study guide/practice test was sent home last week. It is due on Thurs. 2/22 and the test will be on Fri. 2/23.  Unit 6 will be on Geometry.  We will also work on 12's multiplication this week with a timed test on Fri. 2/23.
