This week's homework is for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday - Due on Thursday.  (Early dismissal is at noon on Friday.)  Students are to complete one column for each day and may ask questions each day about any part of their daily homework.
Each student will make flashcards for 4x's to take home to study. 

 

Next week, we will continue with fractions and multiplication/division.

 

Have a Wonderful Winter Break!

This week, homework is for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, (due Friday). Students are to complete one column for each day and may ask questions each day about any part of their daily homework. 

Each student will make flashcards for 3x's to take home to study. 

The homework and flashcards will provide work in case we have a "snow day," which is a chance on Tuesday. I will also send an extra review sheet if needed for Wednesday.

Many thanks!
