Week of Thanksgiving

Tues.: L. 37

8th grade homework assignments:

Have you ever completed a sodoku? We will work on these puzzles on Wednesday. If we have extra time we might get in a game or two of Blokus or Blink! Parents: Ask your child if they enjoy the math games we play. If so, they would make great Christmas gift ideas! Blink is around $5 at Wal-Mart. Blokus is more expensive; I've found it at Target for $30, but it is great for what I call their "math brains"!!

Have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy your time off of school!

Mrs. Buescher
