PLEASE CHECK THE BLOG EVERYDAY FOR YOUR ASSIGNMENTS, AND TRY TO DO THEM....Having trouble?  Reread the question or problem, and do the best you can!  Of course, I want to help you anyway that I can and WILL BE HOLDING "OFFICE HOURS' VIA THE HOMEROOM GOOGLE CLASSROOM (ACCESS CODE jpy44w2)   WHERE YOU CAN MESSAGE ME WITH YOUR QUESTIONS FROM 9AM-11AM.  I also sent you an invitation to GoogleHangouts so you can private message me.

DEACON MURPHY WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE FROM 10:15-12:00 VIA HIS MATH GOOGLE CLASSROOM AS WELL!

ONE OF THE EXPECTATIONS IN GRADE 5 IS THAT WE CARE ABOUT THE "QUALITY, NOT THE QUANTITY" OF OUR WORK...OF COURSE, THIS HAS NOT CHANGED!

MATH  (listed on Deacon Murphy's blog)
  • Try to go on Khan Academy via our "We Are All Math Fans in Grade 5!" Google Classroom and work for 20 minutes.  FYI, something happened when Deacon Murphy named his math class the same as mine, so when I changed my class title, the lessons seems to have disappeared...Nonetheless, URC48F74 is the code.  If we have no luck, try Khan Academy directly.  I have some fraction action waiting for you there!
