A Note from Mr. George
A quick note from Mr. George, our Art Teacher at Sappington:
I have a small request to make, With the focus of Literacy across the curriculum becoming a focal point I have decided to bring back the art room journal. If you could please have each student bring a notebook to class starting next Monday with their name on the front cover I would greatly appreciate it. Normally I would only have 3rd graders bring them because I will keep them from year to year but with the re-boot of the program I need all three grade levels to bring notebooks. These notebooks will be kept in the artroom until the students final day of fifth grade.
Third grade could you please make sure to amend the 3rd grade supply list to reflect the need of an additional notebook for art for the 2013-2014 school year, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you all for the assistance,
Rob George

Math: Decimals Lesson 2.1 #'s 1-17 odd. Mixed review all.
Reading: Read chapter 4 of Dork in Disguise. Your literature circle job for the evening will be the Discussion director. Since this is a shorter chapter, you need to come up with at least 3 questions (instead of 4) that could be used to generate thoughtful discussion/responses to the book. If somebody can answer the question you are asking with one word it is not a good discussion question. Think of open ended questions like:
How did you feel when __________ happened?
Did anything in this chapter surprise you? Why?
What is another way Jerry could have handled that situation?
