Bulletin for CT and PP in Vietnam on vacation:

Hello CT and PP! Hope you are having fun across the world! This week in math we covered multiplying 2 and 3 digit numbers by one digit.
ex: 23 x 4 = or 452 x 6 =

We then went on to learn 2 digit by 2 digit multiplying, as everyone understood the process so well!!
ex: 23 x 42 = and 56 x 22 =

We did most of our work from the Smartboard and through practice sheets, but in the textbook you brought with you on vacation you can review especially pages 149, 157, 159 and 165.

We also worked on word problems involving multiplying. Page 239 and 247 in our text has examples you can try.

In language we did a dive simulation to the wreck of the Titanic and we are reading an article in our textbooks about how Robert Ballard found the shipwreck in 1985. You can check the History links here on this webpage for Titanic info and information on Dr. Robert Ballard. We also wrote reports on Friday about the Titanic.

Make sure to take lots of photos on your vacation so you can show the class when you return. If you keep a diary as suggested, it will help you do a presentation. You could even create a powerpoint show!

Talk soon! Check next week for more updates!
