Week of February 12 - 16, 2018

Friday is a PA day for interviews.  There is no school for students that day.
I will be available for interviews all days this week except for Friday.  Please see my note in the report envelope for interview times.

Thursday HW
1.  MMS pages 54-55 and pages 56-57 are due for correction Tuesday.  The students received time in class to get a good start on both.
2.  Haiku good copy due next Friday.  Introduced at length in class today and with plenty of modeling.
3.  Choral reading of a poem due as an oral presentation next Thursday (moved from Friday).
4.  Work continues this week on the (Human Development Index HDI) brochure.  We've been using laptops and organizers I prepared to research a medium to low HDI nation and make a brochure on the PEPS categories.  A due date will likely announced this week.  I am looking at the middle or end of next week as a due date based on our class progress.  The reason for the moving target is that I don't want the work to be a home project. I'd like to announce the due date when it looks like most kids will finish on time and in class.
5.  Math Quiz on Unit 4, Lessons 6 and 7 on Wednesday February 21, 2018.

Monday HW
1.  Math Quiz Unit 4, lessons 1 to 5.  The quiz includes a section on adding and subtracting estimating, which has proven challenging for the class.  We took a note on it and there are examples and models in the MMS HW book and the text book.
