It was great to see everyone's smiling face today. Our unexpected break refreshed all of us and we were ready to get down to business.

Grammar 5 - we reviewed VERBS. Everyone is doing great with this unit!

Word Study - our test is tomorrow. Remember to bring in your "at home" work and remember to study.

Math 5 - we are still reviewing long division. Today we talked about dividing money into equal parts. The children used "play" money and had a great time.

Math 6 - today we learned how to use a chart to help us solve multi-stepped problems.

BOTH MATH CLASSES RECEIVED EXTRA CREDIT WORK WHICH WILL NEED TO BE TURNED IN BY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20th!
