Oct.29-Nov.2

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! We continue working on our Poetry unit this week. Congratulations to all the students that handed in their first assignment on Edmodo! I will be marking them this week.
Please continue work on the x-tables. Those having trouble should show some improvement each week if they are practicing. Please be sure corrections are done in the Green Correction copybook, 3 times each. They will always be due on the following Monday.
Each Tuesday, we will be working on a new Problem Solving strategy. Please use the problems we work on in class to as additional practice. Just change the numbers! There will be a short Problem Solving Quiz after each topic is covered. So far we have completed Guess and Check and Draw a Picture. This Quiz was a BIG challenge for most students. Please continue practicing these occasionally at home.
