Good evening everyone!
Can you believe that August is already ending? Once again, time is escaping from me. The students had a great time working on designing their own products in a Biztown lesson this week, meeting their reading buddies and participating in student council elections. It sure was a good week.
Below is the curriculum information for this coming week. Remember that this Wednesday is another half day with dismissal at 11:30. 1st Benchmark tests for this year are right around the corner and we will begin our review focus this week. Please continue to email me with questions, praises or concerns. I'm always happy to hear from you.

Problem of the Week (done for homework this week)
You and your friend go trick-or-treating around your neighborhood. When you get home, you both trip and accidently spill both of your candy bags into one pile. You decide to count the candy and together you had 100 pieces. There were 28 Snickers Bars, 10 pieces of Gum, 22 chocolate bars, 12 lollipops, 15 Twix bars and 13 peanut butter cups.
Create a graph to compare the types of candy you got. Name the type of graph you used and explain why you chose that one. Then describe the steps you took to create your graph.
What alternative graph could you use to display the information? Describe why this graph would also be appropriate.
