Carry the One

In my sixth grade math class, we have been learning about decimal computation. We have divided with decimals, added and subtracted with decimals, and today we learned how to multiply decimals. Multiplying, unlike with adding and subtracting, is the one where you don't need to line up the decimals when you are computing them. It's not until the end where you need to count the numbers that come after the decimals, then move the decimal to the right that many spots.
Today we went to the library after recess, where Mrs. Vahle helped us all out with the research papers we started yesterday. She is an amazing resource and, as she said today, she loves research. It's exciting to see her share that passion with the students. She even wants us to come back, which I'm not complaining about.
Homework for tomorrow is study for Spelling, States and Capitals, and to do your math. Also, remember that bookmarks are due tomorrow!
