Friday

It was quite disappointing today to see how some children are quite far behind in their division booklets. These booklets were to be finished by Monday, however due to many being behind I will extend the deadline (again, the original due date was before the holidays as the work was given out in November and they have had about an hour to an hour and a half of time given a day to work on it, but the original due date got moved as to the craziness before Christmas). The new due date will be on Wednesday January 18. The quiz date stays the same, Friday the 20th. Homework this weekend:

- home reading
- mathletics
- study for time line quiz
- math books!!!!
- read blog
- pizza form

Thursday
