Substitute Tomorrow

Yes, there will be a substitute as I am going to some professional development with a couple other teachers and Mr. English. I know these kids will do awesome and follow expectations. Just have a quick chat tonight and remind them of it. Thank you. Today, we started somewhat of a difficult concept in Math-"Making Change" for $1, $5, and $10. What makes it difficult is that it is the opposite of counting money. But, with more practice, we will get it. A little practice at home would be helpful too if you can. Example: Gave-$10.00 --Cost of an item-$7.34--what will the change be? In Social Studies, we started a Geography Challenge Map skill activity reviewing locations with latitude & longitude with partners that they will finish tomorrow. We did learn about inset maps today though and why we have them on maps. Ask them which 2 states in the U.S. are on inset maps and why. Write the names of the states in the planner for free money. Unit 4 spelling words came home today. Remember test on Friday. Author visit on Thursday. Yes, Bill Merical, the author of Journey of Fallen Rock is coming on Thursday afternoon. We are very excited to meet and hear him talk about his book. Will post lots of pictures that day. Science hurricane quiz is tomorrow. They will get to use their notes so if they have been taking good notes, it should be quite easy for them. Have a great night and I can't wait to hear about the great day these kids will have tomorrow.
