Math: 4th graders have a choice of any three Spectrum pages between 1 and 58. There’s a dinosaur stamp on the pages you should be working on. 5th graders have Spectrum pages 49-56 this week. Break them up any way you please, but it amounts to 2-3 pages each night re: fractions.

Spelling: study your words for the quiz tomorrow.

Reading: next Lit Circle assignment is due tomorrow, Friday. Remember that you have a choice of jobs. Get reading!
