This week we are going to be welcoming the project of
the Walk Through the American Revolution, where
history comes to life! This presentation is designed to
allow your child to actively participate in an exciting
retelling of our nation’s beginnings.
Goals this week are:
 Understand the history involved in this Project.
 Unfold the layout and requirement for each
student.
In order for students to do higher level
thinking in mathematics students must know
their math facts and multiplication. I will be
testing students on their multiplication as well
as their weekly math tests. When a student has
passed the multiplication test, there will no
longer be a need for them to continue to take
the multiplication tests.
