Math - pgs 167 & 168 and 2 extra worksheets assigned to your group - (Today we started division and relating our multiplication facts to the division problems. Division will be a work in progress as it continues to get harder. We also started our differentiated groups today in class. I will talk about these at Parent/Teacher Conferences. Please keep practicing multiplication flashcards at home as we will be doing a lot of multiplication in the next few weeks.)
Science - None and D.O.S. has been passed out and due on Friday (Schiff only: Today I lectured about the test that will be on Wednesday. We also made our own study guides. These guides and notes will be allowed to be used on the test. Miss Bubis' class did this yesterday....Test in class tomorrow with notes being used. Nothing to study for. They'll do great!)

How far was Jamestown from the ocean?... Jamestown was 40 miles away from the Atlantic Ocean. What crop was first harvested by John Rolfe?... Tobacco Who was Jamestown (the first settlement) named after?... It was named after King James the First.)
