We are off and running into another year!! The cold weather slowed us down a bit today with buses unable to run but we managed to get some work done.

Students began their novel studies this morning. Two groups are working on The Tale of Despereaux and two groups are working on The Secret World of Og. Chapter 1 reading and questions are due tomorrow.

Students began the review for the Social Studies test which is on Thursday, January 8. The review is due on Wednesday.

We reviewed using estimating to find quotients in math. We corrected page 97 in our textbooks which we completed before the break. Students were given a handout that is due tomorrow.
The students also receieved their weekly math problem sheet this afternoon. Look for this sheet every Monday. The problem sheet will have a short number of questions that students are to work on in their free time or at home. These are due every Friday to hand in.

Don't forget to bring a binder for Creative Writing ASAP.
