Weekend things

We have finished up our studies of Yang the Third and her Impossible Family. The students have been issued a new challenge (optional) for our next story. It should be in their home folder. The questions from it are written below. They must be written, not just told:

Why are laws important? What is the reason for laws?
Is it ever okay to break laws? If so, for what reason? Be specific and detailed.
What should people do if a particular law is unfair?

Due by Tuesday.

Other work includes:
5th grade math - study guide problems (Unit 2)1-12 (use your SRB if you do not understand partial sums) PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS STUDY GUIDE PACKET AND DON"T RIP IT APART.

I forgot to hand out the spelling list for Monday. Here are the words:
Unit 7
charged
spied
moving
trying
practicing
injured
carrying
tasted
receiving
becoming
lying
dying
realized
provided
fried
created
tallied
carried
revising
wearing

Finally, we are going to be creating "Culture Dolls" this week. Ask your child what this means. A note will come home on Monday.

Thank you!
