Week of November 5th, 2012

Happy Friday!

I wanted to get an early start on the week to let you know what will be going on the next few days.

We are going to be doing Theme 3, Story 2 for Language Arts and Spelling.

We are starting chapter 11 in math, which is 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication. The class is still having trouble with these math facts so practice whenever you can!

Our story is called Cendrillon and it is a version of Cinderella. The class is an awesome job on this weeks test and vocabulary so keep up the good work!!
