Multiplying and Dividing Decimals





This is the video that we watched in class about multiplying and dividing decimals. DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE SECRETS! (Pretend the decimals aren't there until the end with multiplication, and then add them back in, just like in the video!)

Compare & Order Decimals





This is the video that we watched in class when we were learning how to compare decimals and put them in order from least to greatest and greatest to least. :) Enjoy KIDDOS!

Add and Subtract Decimals







LINE 'EM UP! We all know how important it is to line up our decimals! Remember.... when adding and subtracting decimals, all you have to do is line up the decimals, add your ghost zeros as needed, and add or subtract as normal. Don't forget to "drop it like it's hot!" or.... drop the decimal down below the equals sign....

We made it!

We made it through the first week of school! YES! Throughout this past week, we've done lots of relationship building with our classmates and we have also started Unit 1. We've been adding and subtracting large numbers (4 and 5 digits) and we have also been working hard on rounding and estimation. There has been NO HOMEWORK this week!

There was also a competition between Mrs. Brennan's, Mrs. Pavy's and Miss Reynolds's classes in regards to behavior. The winners were.........Mrs. Brennan's homeroom class! They will receive their reward on Tuesday morning!

We are looking forward to a busy four day week, and will be continuing on with reviewing and learning new things. Everyone feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns! :)

I hope that y'all have enjoyed the 3 day weekend and I look forward to seeing you Tuesday!
