Math:
This week we will continue with multiplying and dividing basic fact families. Our test will be this coming Thursday. We will be starting a new unit after the March Break, however, we will still be continuing our Minute Madness challenges daily as we will get into more difficult multiplication/division, fractions etc., in the months to come.
