Students are growing as Mathematicians! We have completed our second chapter in math and are moving into chapter three. We have begun multiplication and some of the strategies that we can use to solve multiplication problems. Math vocabulary is something that we discuss daily, such as; product, factor and groups.

They track the weather daily and have become experts about different types of clouds, climate zones, tools that meteorologists use, and extreme types of weather.
