But if you didn't get to yet, only Matt's page is due tomorrow. :) Math: Hop onto Prodigy and work on those math skills.

If you prefer to go onto iReady, that's completely fine too. Social Studies: Give feedback to at least one of your assigned classmates today for the Activist iMovie. Remember, look on GC. Also, look in the weekly schedule on how to make a new BrainPop account. You'll need to do this by Thursday. Mon., 3/30: Good morning! Hope you had a great weekend!
