Hi! Today we read Dogzilla and worked on analyzing the writer's craft. I encourage you to click on the link to the right, for a Dogzilla presentation. In Math we are working on elapsed time. This is a difficult skill for students. Please work on elapsed time at home by simply asking question like "If we start a movie at 3:45 and it ends at 4:20 how long was the movie?" or "If it's 2:30 now what time will it be in 50 minutes?" The more practice they get with this the better. Thanks!
