Work to publish and celebrate our literary essays
Apply what we know about place value, the two interpretations of division, and the relationship between multiplication and division to divide larger numbers

State House Field Trip
We will be visiting the State House on March 1st. I can take an unlimited number of chaperones, so please let me know if you would like to join us. Here are all the details. We will be eating lunch at the State House so your student will need to bring lunch that day.
