Class Notes 11/28

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving break.  We are continuing the units that we started before break, and finishing up a few others.  The students will have a final assessment on invertebrates on Thursday.  They have already been given a study guide, and we started reviewing the material last week.  We finished our unit on multiplication this week and starting the unit on division.  I cannot emphasize how important (and crucial to success) that your child have the basic multiplication facts memorized.  Please remember that your child is also working on a biography assignment.  These assignments are due Monday, Dec. 5th and additional assignments are due Monday, Dec. 12th.  I have given the students approx. one hour every day to read the biographies and to research their famous person.  However, your child should also be doing the assignments at home. Please check on how your child is doing.  Some students have trouble with time management and meeting deadlines.
