Snow Day Activities

Well . . .Mother Nature just isn't cooperating this winter.  According to the email I just got from the school, if 95% of the students complete 2.5 hours of homework either with paper and pencil or online via programs like IXL or MyON, it will minimize the amount of days we have to pay back.  It will be important to log your paper and pencil hours just like you would for your reading calendar. Online programs track that information for me.

 Down below, I am going to give numerous suggestions both online and the old fashion way.  If you wish to print the paperwork or just copy from the blog, either way is fine.  PS.  This is going to be a long post. :)
