Today we played a game called the Oregon Trail. The kids loved it. I was so impressed with not only their teamwork and collaboration, but their strategic thinking. I told them that I would provide the site in case they wanted to play at home.

I hope that you all have a restful, healthy, amazing break full of love & laughter.

All the best!

We are still focusing a lot on multiplication, so it is important that students are fluent with facts. Please have them practice at home. We are going strong with our incentive program. It is called Multiplication Sundae. With each group of facts that they memorize, they will earn a part/all of an ice cream sundae. We will have a sundae social and they will be able to redeem what they have earned on December 20th. Please sign up below if you are able to contribute to our ice cream celebration! Thank you!
