Your student has homework every night. They are to show you their Lesson Chronicles and
share what they have learned in class with you. This week we will focus on reviewing Lessons
14, 15, 16. Lesson 16 was not online. Students did lesson 16 on paper with the substitute on
Thursday. Our goal is to start Lesson 17 - They Went to Strike it Rich - by the End of the Week. I
am presently grading Lesson Chronicles for Topic 7 now, and hope to have progress monitoring
reports out by the weeks end. Please see the planner page of the website for any changes in
our schedule. To see the Lessons that your child is participating in, go to the classroom
