Daily Math Focus

THURSDAY,. NOVEMBER 9, 2017
 
Today we had a change in our class schedule due to the 3 hour early dismissal.  Yesterday, we took a test on Chapter 2 and today students were given test back.  Students were introduced to the next chapter in math which is division.  We completed and went over a page in math books to see if they were ready or not for this chapter.  Students had 7 vocabulary words for Chapter 3 Lessons 1-4 to put into their notebooks.  Have a great weekend!
