Now I know how Redskin fans feel...my only hope is this doesn't become the norm like my friends wearing burgundy and gold. Maybe next week we'll get a Tuesday post?

Math: We jumped into quadrilaterals today. In addition, we spent a little bit of time reviewing last week's quiz. I was somewhat pleased that I'm not getting nearly as many conceptual mistakes but remain frustrated when they simply mess up the calculations! Please review their work with them and ask them to explain how they would solve trouble problems again.

Tonight's homework is simply to complete numbers 3-23 odd on page 350. However, we have a long-term study guide that is due this Friday, as well. Please help them budget their time accordingly.

Language Arts: All three groups are in chapter books. I expect to finish up the quarter in these...

Beans on the Roof - We read and discussed how George was feeling when he was the only Bean not with a roof poem.

Flat Stanley - We defined the word "hasty" by using the context to help us. It is really important that unfamiliar words are not just words that are tough to pronounce; rather, it's the meaning that truly makes them unfamiliar.

Amber Brown - They read and discussed the characters from chapter one. They also continued working on their personal narratives.

Social Studies: They selected a community worker they hope to be one day and described the goods/services associated with the particular job. In addition, they needed to include the resources necessary to complete the work.
