The excitement for the Thanksgiving break has been building and I know everyone is happy about only having 2 days of school this week!

As always, Khan Academy minutes are due by the end of Monday. Students will be completing their ‘Be the Teacher’ posters in class on Monday (I will give them some time to finish on Tuesday if needed). I had originally planned for the students to take a quiz on Lesson 6 Tuesday but I feel like they need some more practice with modeling division of fractions before being quizzed on it. Therefore, there will NOT be a quiz covering Lesson 6 – instead, I will be counting the poster project as the summative grade for the lesson. I just don’t feel like the majority of the students understand the concept enough at this point and it wouldn’t be fair for me to quiz them on it yet. If you have any questions or concerns about that, please do not hesitate to email me!

We will be doing some Thanksgiving math activities in class on Tuesday. Unless absolutely necessary, I try not to give my students homework over a break – they (and you!) need a chance to be with their families and just relax!!

I wish all of you a very happy and relaxing Thanksgiving break!
