          Tomorrow, we will be getting into day 2 of our project. Remember to take your time on your work and check it thoroughly, because this is a big ticket assignment. We will also be getting into our Social Studies project and having our own little Renaissance in class. Bring your art ideas and be prepared to be creative...

39 Clues and Math homework for tomorrow (November 6, 2013)

          We will be reading Chapter 3 of the book 39 Clues. We will also be doing a chapter sketch over Chapter 3, and I will be having you all do a short write over how you would feel if you were in the same circumstances as Dan and Amy; what would you do? We will also be reading Chapter 4 on Friday.

         Tomorrow, for sure, we will be having homework for math; it will be some more long division that will have a remainder that you will turn into a decimal. I want all of you to get really good at long division, because solving proportions and unit rate depend on you being proficient at long division.

Class Math Project this week (November 6-8)

Class,
          This week Starting on Wednesday, we will be starting a math project that involves solving ratios, unit rates, and proportions. Our company will be the XYZ Construction company, and it will be divided up into 5 divisions. I will put you all in groups of no more than 3, and I will be choosing the groups, so be prepared to venture outside your comfort zone a little. This will be a big grade, almost like a test, and each division will start off with wages of $60.00(tickets for students), so this is a big ticket earning opportunity for everyone. I will explain the rules on Wednesday. We will be having the Unit 4 Math exam next week, around Tuesday.

Chemical Reactions
