Hi Parents,
Sorry for the lack in writing this weekend. I was in meeting all this week after school till 8:00 or so at night and just did not have the time to post on the blog.
We have been doing a lot with multiplication. Your students probably introduced you to a new way of doing double digit multiplication called lattice. When I first started teaching 5 years ago, I had to be taught how do lattice by one of my fellow teachers! We will be having a math night here in the next month, and I will teach you all how to do lattice as well. Please know that you can teach your children or help your children by doing the traditional method as well. I teach the students three different methods for solving multiplication problems, but I do not care which method they want to use. The big idea is that all students learn differently and one method will be great for some students and not great for others.
There will be a letter coming home today about book project for the month of April. Please make sure and read that letter!
Have a wonderful weekend.
