Wacky Wednesday

Hello all...
What a wacky Wednesday this has been. Perhaps it's just me, but I think a good long rest is in order.
Parents, please ensure that your child has a protractor with them each day. We are completing a unit on geometry in Math and it is imperative that the students have this. The smaller, clear ones such as are available at office supply stores are the best as the larger ones leave too great a margin of error. Sharing protractors will not be allowed on the unit exam or on the final exam in June. Thank you!
