Hello everyone. It's great to be back -- I hope you all had a great vacation and are refreshed and ready to take on the new year.

We will continue to work on our "mad minutes" to reinforce the multiplication facts.

****If you have calculators, please bring them to class this week!!!*****

Since we have been away for so long, our first order of business will be to review decimal addition, subtraction & multiplication, and division with whole number divisors. From there we'll investigate number patterns with division and finally move to division by decimal divisors.
