"Today I was lunch helper with Torri and Kaylee." -LJ

"Our class had PE today and if you got tagged in the bicep or the tricep, you had to do pushups." -Kyle

Reminders:
Homework went home today.  Students only need to do 120 minutes of reading this week.
Homework packets are due Friday
Parents: ask your students to talk to you about area and perimeter!  What is the difference between the two? How can you find them?  If they know one side of a rectangle and the perimeter, can they find the missing side?
