Student Pledge:
As a student, I pledge to have courage to treat others the way I want to be treated and be happy for one another. We will do our best to be smarter for our future. We will treat others better than we treat Mrs. Doerhoff. Most important, we will always be learning. This week the kids and I started working on word problems. This can be a very tough thing for kids to learn so we are trying the Greg Tang way. This is how we did it. 1st problem2nd Problem3rd ProblemLet me know if you have any questions.

Do your work to the side by re-writing your number sentence. 8. Last, write your answer in all the correct spots. |
