We had a blast creating simple electrical circuits, beginning BizTown preparation, and choosing our topics for our historical fiction picture books!  Students, remember to talk to your parents about 3 things:

1) Exhibition/Mentors: show them the Parent Packet!

2) BizTown: give them the volunteer sign-up sheet!

3) Donations: We are in need of Clorox Wipes & Little Cesar's Pizza gift cards (for our Pizza reading party)

ALSO, if you're going to post a Pizza reading book talk on the blog, be sure to include:

Your FIRST name only

Book title

Book genre/why it fits that genre

Book talk (what you would say about it in class)

Homework:

1) Math (9-12): p. 243 all, p. 244 evens.  Read 20 minutes & turn in signed reading log!
2) Math: redo quizzes--remember that the term ends on Friday, Mar. 22nd!
3) Missing work

Items of Business: 

*NEW: We are in need of Clorox Disinfectant Wipes and Little Cesar's Pizza gift certificates for our upcoming pizza party for reading! 

*Class Store: If you have any extra soda, candy, trinkets, jewelry, or toys that you would like to donate to class store, please send it with your child! We would like to do one more often to serve as a motivator for positive behavior!
