Unfortunately the fifth grade had a very hard time following the school rules today. We achieved HOMEWORK on the board. This means that there will be a weekend homework packet distributed on Friday which will be due on Monday. If it is not turned in your student will serve an afterschool "study" hall. If you have any questions please let me know. There has been some talk of trying to earn erasing a letter but it isn't hopeful. Unless I announce otherwise, I would expect weekend homework!

For Homework tonight:

Language Arts: Bridge to Terabithia-Chapter 1
English workbook page 69
Writer's notebook entry based on a small moment from your all about winter vacation entry.

Math: Worksheet 10.3- Students can use a calculator to generate answers but must be able to show work and explain how to get the correct quotient.

Spelling: Test on Friday!

Have a good night.
