Homework:

**Food item due** in the evening unless you can't make it, in which case it is due in the morning. Also many students have finished or are almost finished their posters so we will have class time to complete those on Tuesday. However, if you haven't yet given me your rough draft that must be done today. Please share it in a google doc.

Today in class: Math: We finished our Bits and Pieces II books and will begin Bits and Pieces III. Our new unit has more of a focus on decimals.

Language Arts: Students shared Lit Trips for final edits with another student in class. We will share some on the big projector tomorrow.

Social Studies: We are currently reading the Maritime pages in our text book and taking notes.

Science: We were busy finishing up with the Marine Biome work. Students have been great peer support for each other. Some have been helping with editing, others with graphic design, scanning, saving files, changing margin sizes. Everyone is helping each other. We are looking forward to our big evening on Tuesday!!!
