To Smart To Start Tuesday

Some parents have parent/teacher conferences tomorrow.

Language Arts
We took a vocabulary quiz over part 2 of Maniac Magee. We read chapters 39-42. In today's chapters, Maniac was confronted with some very bad stereotypes. He found it upsetting (so did the class). Will he find a way to bring the town of Two Mills together and teach them that people are more the same than different? If anyone can do it, Maniac can! We will finish the book tomorrow. Final test is on Thursday.

Math
Today we reviewed 4th and 5th grade skills and practiced algebra by playing a game called first to 100. It required students to replace a variable in a problem with the product of two dice. Homework is math box 4.6 and study link 4.6. Test on Thursday.

No science today.
Instead we went to a Red Ribbon Assembly and a party for the end of fall fundraisers. Ask your child who was there!

Thank you for your contributions to PTO. We appreciate all you do!
