We will most likely be finished with the blankets by Wednesday. Homework: Read 20 minutes and record on reading log. {For the Christmas parties we are planning a White Elephant gift exchange. We discussed that they can bring in a book they have read and are ready to part with, a gently used toy, anything that they would be ok with receiving. Some students wanted to purchase an item and that is fine, as long as the value is $5 or less. If you have any questions, please let me know! Thanks!}

Today is a magical day! Tonight for homework: Read 20 minutes and record on your reading log. Finish your 12-12-12 challenge you started in class.   {We will be sewing blankets everyday next week from 1 – 3pm. We welcome all volunteers and their sewing machines!} Did you know?  Number crunchers have a profound respect for the number 12, mainly because of its divisibility capabilities. After all, it can divided into halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and twelfths. So it can only be assumed that mathematicians will find 12/12/12 to be three times more exciting than a normal “12” day. Have a great evening!

Read for 20 minutes and record in your planner Find and bring in a graph from the newspaper, internet, or even a magazine. Bring in your decorated box for the Boxes of Hope project.

I will record all of this information in my planner, under the Mathematics section Write a list of any other adjectives you would like to include on your Wordle.
