Dancing Dog

Parents, go here to view the dancing dog. Please be aware that this will bring you to the YouTube site. Please carefully monitor your child at this site. I did not make this link "live" so that you will have to help your child interact with this site.

REMEMBER: If this dog can dance for 3 minutes, you can do your homework!

Math Test

Your student is completing the pre-test for chapter 2 as a review and study guide for our test on Thursday. We went over the odd questions today in class and will complete the even problems tomorrow. Please spend a little time asking your child to explain how they found the solution to 3 or 4 of these problems, helping them to prepare for our test. They are doing a great job comparing and rounding numbers. Students enjoy finding the value of the mystery or unknown number.
