MATH:
Tuesday, March 2
Complete the second half of the "raccoon" pages on percent conversions. You will get the most out of the practice if you do one or two on each page and keep doing this until you are done all of them. It is easy to do a bunch on one page that are all alike. When you change the types of questions often, your brain has to think through what to do, and you will learn it better.

SPELLING & VOCAB
We will be taking a sabbatical from our regular spelling and vocab work to focus on the rich vocabulary in the book we started to read today: The Gammage Cup
Tues. March 2 Complete the fill in the blank vocab assignment.
Thursday, March 4 You will have a spelling quiz on the list of words from chapter 1. There will also be a vocab quiz on these same words. They may be matching or fill in the blanks, like the practice ones you have been given to work on

ENGLISH LIT:
Tues. March 2 Set a new term 3 reading goal. Have it signed.
Be sure to list the books you read, the authors, number of pages and your rating of the books in order to earn your independent reading marks.
