For the kids…
Miss Trick just shared this with me. The kids will get the joke.
For all the parents out there, the background is that, like most people over age 20, I roll my eyes at slang like “totes” or “cray-cray” or “whatevs”. The best way for me to make it uncool? Use it myself! Given the recent homage paid to “cray-cray” and “totes-ma-goats” in the popular Sprint commercial with Malcolm McDowell and James Earl Jones, I think I’m fighting a losing battle! 🙂
Enjoy your long weekend!

Parents: Seeking Your Input
Hello, families! I am in the process of designing a new website for our class. I am eager to hear your input about what features you would like in a new class website. I’d appreciate you participating in this survey at your earliest convenience. This is a survey for parents, not for students.

Similes, Metaphors, and Order of Operations
Here’s a review video about similes and metaphors. There’s some NEW information in it! Can you spot it?! If you take the time to watch the video, reward yourself by skipping any five items on the worksheet. Remember, there is a FRONT AND BACK! I know that’s a lot, but remember, you have no spelling words and only three math problems. Take time to READ tonight (and every night! 30 minutes!) and to practice your multiplication facts (also a nightly task!)
Here’s some help with Order of Operations for tonight’s math homework. Keep your eyes peeled for my MISTAKE! (GASP!) Can you catch it before I catch it on the video?!
