11.18.14 - Day SIXTY-FIVE

Welcome back, Everyone!  I hope you enjoyed your extended weekend!  It sure was a nice surprise having a snow day in NOVEMBER.  AHHHHH!  I sure heard some absolutely hilarious and fascinating stories from these babies about what they did on their day off- they never cease to put a smile on my face each day and I want you to know how very much they are loved when they walk through doors and supported while within these walls.  I'm just head over heels crazy about them!

Today was RESOURCE DAY for our 5th graders, so I still did not get to see them much :(

INSTRUCTIONAL NOTE: We are beginning division with TWO digit divisors tomorrow!  No worries and no stress, please...we will get through this together!  Just come with an open mind that is ready to practice and ready to learn and ready to focus on the skills, concepts, and tasks at hand.  Please do NOT be expectant of perfection the first time you do it.  It is going to take practice, practice, and practice and then even more practice on top of that!
