Math:

This week we are practicing more comparison problems using multiplication and division and practicing our math multiplication facts on the 6s, 7s, and 8s. Keep working on those facts. You are doing a great job. Remember the strategies we have taught you in class. Remember those little stories we have taught you in your small blue books.

Social Studies:

Our class is participating in the Iditarod Race. We will probably have a winner as of Monday or Tuesday. As of this morning, John Baker is in the lead!!! Go John go!! We are also studying Woman in History this week. We will include them in a few of our biographies as well.

Question of the Week:

Why was the Iditarod originally started? What event does it replicate?
