Math:
We worked on the idea of multiplication as scaling. This means that if I multiply a given number by a number greater than one, my product will be larger than the given number. In contrast, if I multiply a given number by a fraction less than one, my product will be less than the given number.
2. Get parent signature on the in class multiplication of fraction models.
Language Arts:
We did our "My Bite" writing assignment.
Spellcabulary test tomorrow on the the "audi/phone" words.
