Wednesday HW
1.  Interview requests, parent/student response slips and envelopes returned ASAP.  Thanks!
2.  Dance presented in gym class tomorrow afternoon.
3.  Math HW Book page 87.  More than 80% of the group did not show work in their HW book problem last night.  I strongly encourage students to use a clear problem solving strategy and record it, either by using my model or by using chart models shown in the texts.
4.  Math Text pages 222-223 # 2 to 8.  We've worked on these in class for 2.5 periods.  They should be complete by Tuesday morning.

Tuesday HW
1.  Interview Request and parent/student response slips back ASAP.
