It is so hard to believe how fast time is flying by! We are already feeling the fall weather. Our learners are thriving in the classroom and showing great creativity and perseverance. The teamwork and engagement in our thinking classroom is absolutely magical! Students are showing their core values and there is no shortage of creativity. Thank you to our parents for all you do at home to send your child in ready to learn and thrive.

Click the link to watch a tutorial on Multi-Digit Multiplication Strategies that will be used in class. This is a great way to understand how to help your child extend what they know about basic multiplicaiton and begin to understand how strategies work. Students should be using strategies that make sense to them and should not be guided to the standard algorithm too soon. This video is so helpful in supporting you as parents with encouraging your child to make sense and use strategies different from how you learned in your elementary days. Go with what they know!
