Historical Dress-Up Day:
Costumes must be in the theme of our historic studies this year, which will cover The Holy Roman Empire (1550) through the World of the Forty-Nine(1850). Guidelines: No weapons, no gore, nothing scary, students need to be able to move and sit properly and use the restroom on their own. Have fun thinking of ideas

Be practicing multiplication facts. Please work on any areas that may be difficult. Between now and December we will be building on what we are learning.
Here is a website to help practice multiplication facts. mathusee.com

We are learning subject verb agreement the next two weeks. Please be practicing because this can be confusing because a plural verb does not end in a s.
