Upcoming Tests - There will be 2 tests next week. Math (Place Value) on Wednesday and Wordly Wise Lesson 2 (spelling and vocabulary) on Friday.

Tuesday Homework -

Read for 20 minutes in your Roald Dahl book and log it. I checked the reading logs and left notes.

Math 2 sheets. The first sheet is pretty clear. It's what we worked on in class yesterday - rearranging the digits to create the biggest and smallest numbers.

The second page requires you to think and write about math. You need to do the problems and then follow the directions on the bottom of the page.  You are to write about your answer the way we discussed in class. For example. I know that 349 is greater than 329 because both numbers have a 3 in the hundreds place, but the 4 in the tens place has a greater value (40) than the 2 in the tens place (20).  349 >229 because 40>20.

Wordly Wise - Review the new vocabulary words for Lesson 2. In your notebook divide them into the two lists like you did for Lesson 1: Words I Know and Words I Need to Learn. Then do exercise 2A.

Religion - Do in your notebook.  Remember what Msgr. Theo said at Mass today about naming your guardian angel and praying to the angel. Choose a name for your guardian angel and write a prayer asking your angel to watch over you.

Monday Homework -
Read for 20 minutes in your Roald Dahl book and log it. Remindser - I will check reading logs tomorrow.
