All students were given their vacation homework...just in case there is a snow day on Wednesday. I'm hoping that by sending the homework I'm jinxing the snow day! I'm not sure what the snow day calculator says, but Mrs. Perrien can't keep up with all the snow delays!
IF there is a snow day, both grades have math packets for the break. Both packets are review packets: time for 4th and graphing for 5th. (Review means that all students should be able to do the work with only minimal help, or none at all.) All students are asked to complete their regular writing homework as well as read for at least three of the five days of break. Students also have a vacation reading log to record the three days of reading. There is a $$ incentive if students read and record every day of the break!
Today we learned about Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in America. A few sites to explore:

- http://www.historyglobe.com/jamestown/ (This one is neat and interactive!)

Is Colonial Williamsburg a part of our unit? I was sick Wednesday so I don't really know.
