Math - We began our discovery of volume and cubic units. We will continue this study this next week.

A note on Valentine's Day
Students may bring Valentine's Day cards to exchange with their homeroom. Candy may be included if it does not contain nuts. If a student does participate, a card must be given to every child. Students may not bring individual gifts for selected classmates. We will not have an organized party for Valentine's Day. The homeroom class list will be posted in eClass for students to use to ensure that all children are included.
