We powered through a lot of work today. Everyone deserves a big pat on the back for having such a great day! We can't wait to see what we can accomplish tomorrow.

In math, we worked on collecting data, graphing, and analyzing it. We also practiced adding 2-digit numbers using mental math strategies. For example, 23 + 22, think "20 plus 20 is a double (just like 2 plus 2) and 3 plus 2 is 5. Together, the sum is 45."

Ask your child to explain how they add 36 + 43 using mental math (no writing/paper). The answer to this problem is the secret word for tomorrow.

In writing, we talked about excellent sentence starters and ways to make our writing more interesting and flow when you read it.
