LA - book reports due Monday.

Math - page 177 due Monday.

Most of the class did not hand in the Volume from Nets assignment today. Students can hand it in Monday, but if it is later than that they will have to spend time at recess and lunch to complete it. A number of students did not hand in their Problem of the Week, either.

I would appreciate your help in reminding your child to complete assignments on time.

LA - Congratulations, Grade 5 students! You did a super job with the Reader's Theatre and Choral Speech performance today.

Book report due Monday, March 26.

Math - Volume from Nets due tomorrow. Problem of the Week due tomorrow. Also, pages 174 and 175 (solving problems using mass) due tomorrow. (I know this sounds like a lot, but the Volume from Nets assignment was given out a week ago, and Problem of the Week was given out Monday. Most students who used their time well in class are also finished the assigned pages).
