Monday Update!

Hello!

Happy Monday!!

Our homework package this week included multiplication practice (yay!).  We're also launched into our cursive writing program.  Later in the year, we will be doing more cursive writing in class by submitting assignments that are in cursive.

For multiplication, we've gone over 2 different ways to multiply big numbers - traditional algorithm (the way that I learned in school with cross multiplying) and lattice.  Here are links to YouTube videos of each:

Traditional Algorithm:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k3aWF6_b4w
Multiplication Lattice:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS6TfWUv97I

I'm going to work on putting up a section on the blog that I can post useful website to, but it's a work in progress to learn how!

Thank you for your patience while I figure all of this out!
