Don't let the rain get you down!


Faith shows in this picture how we can use the WAIT model to help us to deal with problems (like  someone calling you a name or bothering you while you are working) when they happen.



These students are showing pictures of the WAIT model. Do you remember what each of the letters stand for?

At the bottom of each post there is a small tool bar. It looks like this

Multiplication with Stamps

Today we looked at different groupings of stamps. We used a variety of strategies to figure out how much each stamp set was worth.
We determined that repeated addition on its own could take a very long time to do, and it wasn't very efficient. Instead, students began to group the stamp values together before using repeated addition.

Try making your own set of stamps at home and calculating how much they would be worth. Try to figure out how much a group of 8 stamps would cost if each stamp was worth 3 cents.

No running in the halls
Make sure all your things are put away in your locker so no one will trip over your belongings
