Math: We had a brief review to activate their prior knowledge prior to taking the unit three pre-assessment. This unit is loooooonnnnngggg and jammed with multiplication/division concepts. No, not purely the computation - they will actually apply strategies to solve that demonstrate their "understanding" of what multiplication/division mean...stay tuned for the strategies! We will begin our unit three instruction tomorrow.

Language Arts: Since I have been out a couple times in the last week, so we will pick spelling words due next Friday, December 14th later this week.
