Southeast States & Capitals Map Went Home Today

Yes, we finished making our flash cards for school practice and started our Geography Challenge for the Southeast Region so the maps went home today.  So it is time to start practicing and memorizing these for the test that will be Dec. 18th or 19th.  Remember not only do they need to know the capitals but the locations as well.
We started Lead 21 Unit 3 today too and it is so great that this is all about the Atlantic States which are part of the Southeast Region so we will learn lots of information about this area regarding its' history, culture, geography, and economy.
We are working hard on Elapsed Time in Math yesterday & today.  Have your child show you our we are using timelines to help us master this skill.  It is a great strategy and works every time provided they make & use the timeline correctly.  So have them show you how to do the following problem in the planner.  Start time:  2:53   ---End time:  4:21---What is the elapsed time.  Write it in the planner for free money.
IXL math-when your child is practicing these skills at home, make sure they are using scratch paper to solve the problems before submitting their answers.  Skills for this week to work on at home are:  O5, J1, D5, D6, and U1. Thank you
Holiday meal slips-if you plan to have the holiday dinner with your child here at school, return the form ASAP.  Thank you
Naming the new school, mascot, and colors-remember to get your ideas in to me by December 9th.  Thank you
Have a great night.
