Monday

Welcome Back!  I hope everyone had a relaxing time with family and friends over our long Thanksgiving weekend!  Maybe some shopping, too?

LA--We're taking a time out from our basal readers for the next three weeks and working on a novel study.  We're going to be sharing Frindle together as a class.  We started with chapter 1 today.  Unfortunately, there was an issue with Barnes and Noble, and the books haven't arrived yet.  We're keeping our fingers crossed that they will be here by Wednesday at the latest.  We will be reading the chapters together in class, as well as completing most of the work here at school.  Homework will only be assigned if things are not completed during class time.  There will be no weekly homework during this time.

HW: Finish chapter 1 questions if they weren't completed in class.  Be sure to share the half sheet requesting Frindle donations with a parent.

Math: We're continuing on with our multiplication strategies in math class.  Today we focused on Lattice Multiplication.  We spent quite a bit of time discussing how important the actual multiplication process is in Lattice, not just how perfect we can draw the boxes.  :)

HW: Journal page 124, math box and study link 5.7 and the extra sheet are all due tomorrow.

Social Studies: Content 2--we started in on chapter 6 today, which will take us on a tour of the Southeast Region of the United States.

HW: None
