Dodgeball

Today was the annual dodgeball tournament.  Students could use their Paw Prints to buy a ticket to participate in the dodgeball tournament. Most of the kids chose to play and we all went to Fuller Hall to take part in the fun.  Our class was beat in the final match by Mr. McGrane's class. 

There is math homework tonight.  It should be pretty easy.  Extended facts are just basic facts with zeros added on the end.  I teach students to do that base fact and then count how many zeros are on one side of the equals sign and then add that many zeros to the other side. 

For example:
                             30 x 40 =        
        Base Fact:       3 x 4 = 12

In the original fact there are 2 zeros on the left side of the equals sign so 2 zeros can be added to 12 to get 1,200 as a final answer.
