Monday

The tests students took on Friday will go home tomorrow. Please go over them with your student. I am reviewing any math problem they got incorrect, I hope to have that done tomorrow. Some of them are reading errors, when a student just didn't pay attention to the instructions. We are continuing to work on double digit multiplication. If you could help your student practice these at home, that would help too. Students do have one each day on their homework. We are practicing for our Veteran's Day program on Friday. Students are supposed to find a veteran and interview them. It is good to know what was suffered for our freedoms. Oh, I nearly forgot, we celebrated Guy Fawkes Day today. I told the students that we would celebrate holidays from different country. In 1605 Guy Fawkes was part of a group who tried to blow up the Parliament. He was caught and punished and the people still celebrate the preservation of the Parliament and King James. We watched a few little videos and ate sausages to celebrate the day. Remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder and treason should ever be forgot.
