TOMORROW IS A WOW DAY.  FREE CHOICE CLOTHES.

KEEP READING!  WE WILL PLOT THE MINUTES TOMORROW. Parents should be signing last weekends reading log, which began with our Reading Kickoff Party. 

This morning we learned the location and height of King's Peak, Utah.  We also located and labeled the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.  I told them about the Donner/Reid Party tragedy, in the 1840's.

Next we performed the play, worked on touch-ups, and worked independently on Language Arts for tomorrow's test.  SEE TUESDAY'S LIST.

MATH HOMEWORK IS A LOT!  Sorry!  If it is too much to do, let's tone it down.  I worked with one student after school today, and realized the load was somewhat heavy.  EXERCISE 11 OR 13, DEPENDING ON YOUR DESIRE.  ALSO, BRING IN SOME SMALL KNICK-KNACK TO SELL.  We have been dividing a 0-1 number line into tenths and hundredths.  Today we divided it further into thousandths.  Students placed random decimals in their places.  Ask:  Which is greater... 0.33 or 0.331?  What is one thousandth less than 3.47?  These kind of questions make kids think!!!

After Foreign Language we worked independently once more and finalized things for the play.  Minicourses were great.  Sorry about the skiing...but it was better to stay home than ski on ice in the rain, with the chance of danger on the road.  Hopefully next week will be "fortuitous"!
