Sixty-Sixth Day of School

Today we began new units in Math, content knowledge, and word study.

In content knowledge, we learn about and compare our oldest known world civilizations. Our study begins with Mesopotamia, specifically Babylon. We've learned that

• Mesopotamia laid between 2 rivers, Euphrates, Tigris.
• The city constructed a system of canals to divert water to land set back from the rivers.
• The rivers were used for transport to trade between regions.

In Math we discussed and practiced strategies for adding 3 or more addends.
