PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU, OR YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER HAVE THE AGENDA COMPLETED, WITH A SIGNATURE FROM THE TEACHER.  THIS WILL ASSURE YOU THAT THEY ARE COMPLETING WORK.

Unfortunately, I lost about 15 nice shots I took at the African inventors museum today.  This took place in the school and had a lot of interesting facts about inventions by people of the African diaspora (people with roots in Africa who live in North America or in continental Africa).

We're on the cusp of starting long division and completing some work that concerns dividing and having a remainder.  Here is a word problem with 3 different solutions that we did in class.  I like to have to the work done on the board, so the students can check and make corrections to their work.

There is also an Art project we are doing which involves the tearing of construction paper and old issues of National Geographic.  Here is a sample which I created, to model for the students:

I may add to it or create another one.

Have a good evening.

A student asked today if she could leave a comment if she had a question.  That would be okay.
