What's New?

This week we had Drops in the Bucket as our extended math assignment. This is due Thursday. On Friday I will be handing out our new Accelerated Math assignment that will be due the following Thursday. As always we are working on Mountain Math and Mountain Language. I have tried to incorporate those assignments into either a warm up activity or a rotation. I hope this allows everyone to be more successful. Apologize for not being as prompt this week with our Spelling List. Next week will be better. Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or concerns.
