Goodbye November

Announcements:

Picture Retakes are Monday. Please let Ms. Taylor-Stevens know if you are planning to have your picture retaken.

Remember to bring in those food items for the food drive.

You can go on Book Adventure at home or anywhere you have internet access. Have fun looking and playing around. Take some of the quizzes, start earning those points toward prizes.

What we did today:

We worked on more of our MACRO. You guys are getting pretty good at Order of Operations, Fractions, decimals, percents, and all that fun math stuff.

We also had our first time in the MCR computer lab. You guys did pretty good with the requirements. We need to remember to stay quiet and on task. Using the computer lab is a privilege and can be taken away.

You all took your science test. You really need to work on finding answers in the newspapers. The scores are still lower then they should be since you can use the newspapers.

Homework:

Read for at least 45 minutes and record it on your roadrunner tale.

Roadrunner tales are due tomorrow.
