We had homeroom math today to administer and review the MSA math practice. This will be coming home tonight. You'll notice there are notes and/or marks on their papers that are to remind them of particular strategies to help them be successful and most importantly, show exactly what they know when the time comes. As for content, we will make some additional efforts in the next two weeks to review measurement and data analysis from earlier this year and instruct some concepts that won't be taught until May and June (time and probability).

Language Arts:

Carl's High Jump - They should reread the book and generate a list of details about their experience with our DES Field Day.

Sword... - They should reread chapter 14 in preparation for tomorrow's culminating activity.

JGB - They should complete their focus question response and reread the story for tomorrow's discussion.

W&M - Outstanding discussion today! Please ask them about the "paper clip" and what it might symbolize...here is the quote from page 8:

"The paper clip over my name was bent, as if Mama might have tried to make it right and hadn't. I stared at that paper clip for a long time."

They should begin reading chapters 3+4 tonight.
