Greetings one and all,

First of all I really want to thank you for the wonderful donations for the Klanderman Auction.  We have a great looking Auction so far.  You still have next week if you wish to donate items.  We're looking more and more at moving our Auction to NEXT FRIDAY since the weather still looks good.  You'll notice that Mrs. Drake noted that most class parties are next Thursday afternoon...we will be looking at the Auction mid-morning on Friday.  I've also not been inviting parents the last few years due to the Auction concept that this is THEIR $$$ and in past years I've had parents start bidding/discouraging bidding from their kids.  I'm sure that would never be you guys, but it's just a little easier on us that way.  Thanks for understanding.

Here is the homework for a Wednesday night:

Math:  Check last night's blog to make sure that is finished for Thursday
*Unit 3 Test (division) is Next Wednesday.

Social Studies:  Regions booklet for the Northeast is due Friday, as well as the Unit 4 test.

Science;  Papaya group has their Energy Hog packets due Monday.  Also, the Energy Test and Part 2 of the vocab cards are due next Thrusday.

Words Their Way Test are Friday (this will be the last one before the break)

Writing:  Our fill Rough Draft of our Persuasive Letter is due Thursday.  We are just taking the 5 paragraphs we wrote and putting them all together to make it easy when we start Word processing tomorrow.

*Boy's basketball note went home today, but sign-up isn't due till like January 16 or so.

That's all for tonight folks,

Mr. K

Greetings one and all,

Here is the homework for a Tuesday night:

Math:

Kiwi Group:

We did not finish out lesson on remainders today.  So we only assigned the problems we didn't do on last night's homework...so page 81, but this time do 4-6, and 10-12.  Also, just provide the actual answer, don't worry about doing the estimation.  We decided we'd rather check our work with multiplication.

Papaya and mango groups:

Pages 83 and 84 for Thursday.  Make sure to provide one of the 5 possibilities of how to use the remainder in the story problems.  Use the purple notes sheet for help.

*All groups...mini quiz Wednesday

Words their Way tests Friday

Science:  Energy Test and Vocab cards Part 2 due NEXT thursday

Social Studies:  Packets for the Northeast region and Unit 4 Test this Friday!
