Many new beginnings...
In reading we are beginning a new unit: Bringing Characters to Life. Today we learned that we can get to know characters like we get to know a new friend. We notice what the character says or does. This helps us learn more about the character.
You'll notice that we are not using the multiplication symbol today. We are working on building an understanding of multiplication is made up of equal groups.
Today we worked on making equal rows. Rows go across. Eventually the 2 rows of 6 cubes will become 2 x 6 = 12.
