Homework:
1) Math: (we are in CRT review mode now!): "Mixed Numbers" worksheet, front and back.
2) Read 20 minutes & turn in signed reading log!
3) If you didn't already, complete your How the World Works Assessment!  Click here for the rubric!  Remember, you can choose any format--an essay, a skit, a Prezi--but it needs to be neat and informative!
4) Please bring your permission slips if you haven't already, and a $5 donation if possible!

Items of Business: 
*NEW: We are in need of Clorox Disinfectant Wipes!  Thank you so much! 
*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!
