Ask your reader how he/she is doing with our 25-book challenge. We have some voracious readers who have already completed the challenge, but of course they are still reading! Congratulations to these readers! You are setting a good example for all of us.
MATH NEWS
This week in math students are analyzing data to answer questions. Last week we learned about frequency tables and stem and leaf plots. This week, we added dot plots to our data knowledge. Dot plots show the frequency of data on a number line.
Check out a dot plot example here: https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/dot-plots.html
