Happy Friday!

We finally were able to add a Friday song to our end of week!  I have gone through 2 IPod Docks so far. This past weekend, my daughter stopped by and showed me how to play my IPhone right through the computer. The students danced and talked for the last few minutes of the week.  A great new tradition has been started!

Math parents:  What a confusion we had with this week's POW.  I apologize.  Typically I create our POWs myself; this one I took from a book.  We have come to the conclusion that there were errors in the book.  Both the students and I were confused, as I heard many of you at home were too.  We had several conversations over the period of the week and agreed upon the following:  I will grade the POWs focusing on the computations.  Students will get points for correct work but no student will be penalized for not understanding the problem.  Everyone left math feeling this was reasonable.  Don't worry.  Next week's will be one I create!

Homework for the weekend:
Reading:  Daily Reading Log due Monday
Math:       30 minutes of IXL practice in preparation for Topic 2 test due Monday
Social Studies:  Roanoke Blog due Tuesday

Thanks!
Enjoy the weekend. It is suppose to be beautiful out!
