  2. Mr.Buxton, I am starting the 3D project. When it says to type up your info. on an index card, does it matter what size the index card is because I have a fairly big one and a normal one that you write your vocabulary on. Is there a limit on how big the index card is, and if there is, will points be decducted?

  9. Sarah - yes
    Charlie H - yes

    MG - Make sure your P2 are 'major' tourist attractions... caverns, watersprings etc.. sound like p3s instead of p2s... can you devise a categories that are more general.. e.g. outdoor activties etc

  25. Mr. Buxton,

    I was watching tv and I saw the host of the show use a SSS technique.

    ReplyDelete
  26. McCarthy, I think your power 2's are too specific. Also, Caroline I was watching a show where the person said a Not only+ but also. And finally, would good power 2 topics be:

    -Indoor
    -Water
    -Outdoor

    Well, like indoor activities.

  28. What was the math hw for the Buxtons again??

    Juliana?

    ReplyDelete
  29. You have to:

    -Finish Chapter 7 Review
    AND
    -Chapter 7 Pretest but only pages 330 + 331

    Also, McCarthy if you want to find the state report links you go to Mr. Buxton's archive and it'll say state report links or something with state report. Or you can go to mylatin click academics 5th grade and computer lab.

  30. I though Mrs. Graham told the class that was in the classroom that if we hadn't have to do the chapter review. If we were in the multiplication group she said it was fine if we don't do it. Isn't that correct?

  59. Paige, the revolutiony war kinda relates to each state that fought it in, but you could use it. If there is another event that happened IN your state, I would use that one.
