Friday

Are you surprised I’m not here? I knew I would be gone, but I wanted to test you and see if you could handle things being different. It’s important to be flexible and go with the flow.

If you are perfect for the sub and NO ONE has any problems, we’ll play hockey next week and maybe start the computer project with your pictures. Encourage your friends to do the right things today.

In math, I want you to CLICK HERE to work on fractions. Do lessons 1-7 and 10-13. TAKE YOUR TIME so you review the things we have learned.

Stay on task and have a good day.

I may have some surprises for you next Tuesday. Take the day off on Monday. Vanessa, have a good trip.

A special message for the Romanian Rocket: Thanks for your comments. It’s good to know what you are doing and I can’t wait to see your website. Tell all your family Hi!
