All chaperones that were chosen out of a hat have been notified! We were fortunate to have more volunteers than we can take. If you did not get a call from your child's teacher, your name was not chosen. Thank you for understanding, and thank you for volunteering!

Math
This week in math we added and subtracted decimals. We learned a variety of strategies to use. The students know how to rename units, use a place value chart, and the standard algorithm to add and subtract.
