There’s not enough time in the day!<\/p>\n
So today we didn’t even GET to science, we were so wrapped up in other stuff. \u00a0We might start our day with science tomorrow to make sure we get to it.<\/p>\n
In Math, we moved on to our next step: multiplying some two and three digit numbers. \u00a0We continued to use our visual aids and the D.P.o.M.o.A. \u00a0After doing this together a few times, it seems like the majority of the class is grasping these concepts quite well.<\/p>\n
Tonight the students have 10 (TEN!) problems to do. \u00a0As always we have done one together, and the example is right here:<\/p>\n
