Handwriting: We are working on packet #18. Because of the short week it will not be due until the week of April 9. Mr. Mangus's class is always due on Monday, Mr. Lance's on Tuesday, Mrs. Erickson on Wednesday, and Mrs. Thompson on Thursday.
Math: We just finished taking a Utips test (standard 2, objective 2) this week. We will take standard 2, objective 1 on Tuesday. There are only 17 questions so it will work on a short week. The Utips tests are practice tests to prepare students for the end of year test. We discuss them in class together before we take them. Students can access them at home on the computer by going to Mangusmath.com and clicking on the link at the bottom of the middle column marked utips and accessing any test in Math, Science or Language Arts by standard and objective. We will also be doing an assignment on MG-5 fractions.
