Team Urban,

We had another great week in 3rd grade.  Our mindsets were tested this week while learning about the distributive property in math.  This was challenging at first, however, with more practice our knowledge began to grow.  If your child would like to watch more videos on math Topic 3, they can log into Pearson and click on "Additional practice for Topic 3." Here are some pics below of students being "Distributive Doctors".
