Monday, August 31st

Tonight's homework:
  • Reading: Read 20 mins. and fill out log
  • Math: Rounding worksheet (NOTE: Rounding was a very difficult concept for many of us in class today. This homework may take extra time and attention tonight. We will be spending another day on rounding tomorrow. Our Chapter 2 math test will be this Wednesday over comparing numbers, ordering numbers, tables and rounding.)
  • Word Study: Begin working on word study contracts. These should be kept in the word study pocket on the expanding file because time is given in class to work on assignments and this allows it to travel back and forth between school and home each day.

Enjoy this beautiful weather!
