Greetings one and all,

Here is the homework for a Monday night:

Math:

Mango and Papaya:  Please do both 73 and 74 (no #4 for any group on page 74, they're getting plenty of practice on the page before.  Student's may also solve the problem however they choose on problem #3 page 74)

*Kiwi group only needed to do 1-3, and 7-9, plus 10 and 11, on page 73
-this gave them more room to work.

Continue practicing patience was we go through our work with division.  It is a daily process.  Each day I have 1-5 kids who have the LIGHT GO ON, but if that hasn't happened yet, we have plenty of time.  Don't worry.
