The rough draft for the Pumpkin Project is due this Friday. Please remember to review the directions in the packet. The writing should be about the character chosen, not a beginning-middle-end summary of the book. I modeled this in class for them, so they should know what to expect.

We have started into Chapter 2 in Math, Adding and Subtracting Whole Numbers and Money. This chapter focuses on addition and subtraction of three-and four-digit whole numbers and money using mental math, estimation, and algorithms.
