Happy Friday!

Next week we will be continuing our work with multiplication facts.  One of the skills we are practicing is using what you already know to help you find answers to more difficult problems.  For example, 6 x 12 can be hard to remember, but if you know that 6x2=12 and 6x10=60, then you add them together to get 6x12=72. 

We have also been talking a lot about character traits and settings.  Knowing the difference between physical characteristics and personality traits seems to be our challenge area.
