Progression of Multiplication from 3rd Grade to 6th Grade!
To help ensure that we're all speaking a common language and have the same goals, Graham Fletcher recently created a short video that explains the progression of multiplication, from 3rd grade to 6th grade.
All grade levels should take a few minutes to see the connections students can make as they go from grade to grade. Enjoy the goodness within!
Math News!
As always, please reach out if you have any questions or need any additional assistance!
Happy Day to All!

Mrs. Clark recently sent an email regarding TEST PREP night. Parents will attend a short presentation in the cafeteria and then be released to the appropriate grade level. Please plan to discuss with your parents grade level specific strategies.
Your coaches and PIP will be happy to clarify or assist. Just let us know.

I will continue to be in classrooms to either model a lab/lesson or for Science Instructional Observations. Please let me know how I can assist you personally or with your students.
