I am glad to welcome you back for the new year!  We are off to a running start.  Today we began topic 5 in math (Rate and Ratios).  We are preparing for our first mystery book club meetings this week.  Students are wrapping up their work on quadrant one in their book club books today so that we can meet on Thursday and Friday.  In science, we are wrapping up our study of waves.  In Social Studies, students will work on a quick mini-project about North Africa.

FOR HOMEWORK:

Math page 255

Read for 20 or more minutes and RECORD in your plan book!

Book Club:  If you did not finish preparing for your group meeting, do so tonight.  At this point, you should have read the first quadrant of your book, completed all the appropriate pages in your book club workbook, written a retell summary, and marked parts in the quadrant that you want to talk about in your book club meeting.

Social Studies: Finish taking notes on your North African country.
