Black Out Over!

Thank goodness we are back in school! It seemed like most of the students and teachers were ready to get back in the routine.
Literature Projects will be presented this week with all of them expected to be completed by Friday. I'm sure everyone used the extra time last week to make their projects top notch!
We are reading Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing for the next two weeks, so there will not be a reading selection using the basal reader during that time.
In math we are working with money and decimals this week.
In science we continue to focus on the scientific method also known as the design process.
Don't forget that students are allowed/encouraged to correct graded work for extra points. This is the only type of extra credit that I offer, so please remind your child to take advantage of the opportunity.
Homework
Math-spiral review and workbook p. 9
Reading-draw the three main characters from Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing that were introduced in chapter 1
