We went to the Flynn Theater today to see Freedom Train.  It was a performance about Harriet Tubman’s life.  Please ask your child what they thought of it.  When we voted just about everyone either liked or loved the play. 

In math we are working on area and perimeter.  We learned that the formula for the area of a rectangle and the formula for the area of a parallelogram are the same!!  To find the area you need to multiply the base x height.  Ask your child to explain how they have the same area.
