Thanks for stopping by! I think we can have a lot of fun with this. The class will have to start writing some articles to post on here too. See you tomorrow.
I have a question on our math homework. It asks us to write equivalent decimals for already decimals. Do they mean fractions or decimals with a bunch of zeros? It’s numbers 15-23. From, Alex
Sorry this is a bit late. You are right about just adding zeroes. An equivalent decimal is one that is the same. What can you do to make a decimal the same? Add zeroes in certain places.
For example: 2.3 (two and three tenths) is the same as 2.30 (two and thirty hundredths) Hope this helps.
It was good seeing you at the Back-to-School Picnic. My son Caleb thinks school is a magical place because everytime he visits (Picnic, Fiesta, etc..)the school is having a party. He asks me, “Do you play like this all day Daddy?”
Oh, I also forgot to answer about Mrs. Lopez. I don’t really know if she is handing out pencils. That was something that Mrs. Harden started. I’ll have to ask her. I’ll let you know when I get an answer.
Hi Mr McGrath,
School is lots of fun. I wish that there was less U.A. time than math time. I looked on google and looked up pi. This is what it gave me-3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592. I cannot imagine memorizing that.
Hello again,

Mr. Mcgrath,
YIKES!!!!! I am really new to this I made a few mistakes with the spelling. I am not used to waiting this long with my computer so some of my spelling things and comments came out twice!!!! Plus I made a mistake on the first spelling list so ignore it unless you read that comment that came out twice which is going to tellyou to ignore it anyways.

Madison
P.S. dont be surprised if this comes out twice!
P.P.S Is there away to eddit the work after you did it? I am going to be out for a little while which will give you plenty of time to respond back. See you tomorrow!
Thanks for the nice compliments. I think we have a great class and I know that we will have a lot of fun this year!
Sorry this is such a late response. Don’t worry about the writing application for this week. I will usually want you to do that though.
Arlyn-
Ms. Hull and I are trying to plan that out right now. We have a lot of fun activities, we just don’t know if we will be able to get to all of them before the year is over. We’ll try though. We will do a play/presentation of the fifty states later in the year. We won’t have super scientist projects. However, we will have a number of cool projects to do. We also will be trying to do more experiments in class.
