Where in the US is Mrs. Elliott?

Can you guess where I am today? The capitol of this state is Springfield. A president lived here. Today I am speaking at a convention for teachers. I want to hear what you have been learning about the French Explorers. Please write a few sentences about the French in Missouri and what you have found out about division. I miss you and I will see you tomorrow. Happy Halloween!

Monday Morning Meeting with Mrs. Elliott

Happy Monday! I hope you enjoyed your 3 day weekend. I am sorry I have to be away today, but I know you are giving the substitute teacher your Elliott BEST! Thank you for continuing to work hard and learn lots!
Since I am missing Morning Meeting today, let's do it on our blog. Please comment about what you did over the 3 day weekend and how things are going today. I will read your comments this evening. I can't wait to hear from you.

When you finish your comments and publish them, try my Brain Teaser for today:

Problem of the Day: Tuesday

Ken's desk has three drawers in it. In each drawer he has 12 puzzles. How many puzzles does he have in all?

Homework, Oh Homework

Want a little Social Studies extra credit this quarter. Complete the Archaeology Homework assignment. You are to analyze your bedroom and think like an archaeologist. If you are interested, get a copy from Mrs. Elliott and return it by Monday, October 29. Feel free to send me a message in the comments section. I will get the copy to you.
