Did you know? Number crunchers have a profound respect for the number 12, mainly because of its divisibility capabilities. After all, it can divided into halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and twelfths. So it can only be assumed that mathematicians will find 12/12/12 to be three times more exciting than a normal “12” day.
Have a great evening!

Rainy day…
Homework for tonight:
Read for 20 minutes and record on your reading log.
Find an object in the house to measure the perimeter and area of. Record the measurements and item in your planner. {for example: If I pick my nightstand, I will measure the top of it to find the length and width. Then I will add all the sides to get the perimeter. Lastly I will multiply the length and width to get the area. I will record all of this information in my planner, under the Mathematics section
Write a list of any other adjectives you would like to include on your Wordle.
Have a splashtastic evening!
