We got off to a good start with Subtraction last week.  The students are feeling great about their math abilities.  Check out this video to see how we will approach subtraction this week.  2 digit subtraction video.

Biography Reports/Homework

Students will choose who they will study this week.  Homework for Monday and Tuesday is to choose two people you would like to study.  Talk to your child about the people that interest them.  Look around online and see if you can do a little reading or watch some videos about your choices.  Fill out your choices and turn it in Wednesday.  I will try to give everyone one of their top two choices.  You do not have to pick someone from the list.  I will reserve the right to approve the student's choice based on; 1. Does it fit with the assignment? and 2. Will we be able to find information.  Keep in mind that you will need to make a costume to dress as your chosen person in February.
Some questions to consider:
Do you want to study someone who stood for Civil Rights?
Do you want to study a women who broke gender barriers?
Are you interested in athletes who used their fame to help others?
Are you interested in politics?  Presidents?
Are you interested in scientists?  Inventors?
If you get stuck, I can help.
