What's on the agenda?

     Sorry about not posting on Friday. My computer was being funny and I had to call in for help. The students have their Chapter 4 History Test Monday, December 16. I have posted a link on Mrs. Peterson's blog under Social Studies for practice tests. It is called History Alive Practice Tutorials. We practiced the online tutorial and hopefully they used a portion of their weekend to review. They have a test in Math Tuesday, December 17. This test covers adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimals. I will send them home with some practice problems to help them study for the test.
     In addition, students are beginning Week 14 of Mountain Math and Mountain Language. I will be allotting some warm-up time for them to work on these. Students are, also, receiving Drops In The Bucket (D.I.T.B) this week and it is due Thursday.
