Businesses started preparing their final PrepBooks for BizTown this Wednesday!  We are so excited!  

P.S. Did you know that exactly 1 month from today will be our Exhibition presentation day?!  Woohoo!!

Homework:

1) Math: "Math Review Homework" Sheet, both sides

2) Language Arts (this is new; we'll do some each day until CRT's to give us some extra practice): "Field Trip" Comprehension worksheet

3) Read 20 minutes & turn in signed reading log!

4) 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!
