Guided Reading:  You should be bringing a notebook to class (or keeping one in my room) every day so that you can journal after silent reading.  We will be working on various reading strategies that will be reflected in these journals.

Advanced Math:  We will complete 2.3 in class tomorrow.  No homework tonight.  However, if you are struggling with distributive property or integers, I suggest you practice by playing some of the online math games that are out there.  (Just Google for them... there are plenty.  If you struggle to find some, message me on Edmodo, and I can help.)

NHD/LA/Social Studies:  All this week in LA will be NHD focus.  Everyone should have a printed copy of a working annotated bibliography by Friday.  (Please note:  a "working" bibliography simply means that it is not a finished product.  As you continue to research, you will add entries and revise annotations.)  Your homework every night this week is to spend 30 minutes or more reading and taking notes for your project. I will finish taking your status tomorrow and then ask how far you have gotten on Thursday and Friday.  Your grade for this week will be measured by how much you have accomplished.
