Happy Day! I don't know if it was because we had yesterday off or what, but today seemed extremely busy again, but that is a great thing. There is so much to learn.

Today in Math, we found the range, median, and mode for a set of numbers. Most of us did well with this concept, but if your child brought home some corrections, please go over them with them.

States have been chosen: Students have chosen a state for their research report. Today we spent lots of time going over the requirements and talking about expectations. They also saw a tri-fold board with all the components on it and so now they got to see what the final project looks like. They will be getting a paper tomorrow that they will use as their "rough" draft. These will be a large part of their grade for 3rd Quarter Social Studies. If your child can tell you the name of their state, write it in their planner for free money at check in.

Make sure your child has their tri-fold board here by Monday, January 24th as we will be putting them together. Most of this project will be done in school, but it may require some to be done at home.

Captain & General-a new game we played today in Math. They can play it with you at home. All they need is a deck of cards and 3 people to play. They loved it.

New quarter-new start. Today starts the 3rd quarter and we made some changes. Some got new notebooks for reading, and we are changing how we do book clubs a little bit. I think it will make our discussions richer.

BRRRR-it is cold once again so please dress for the weather.

Make sure you have recorders and books here tomorrow.

Thank you and have a great night.
