Making Predictions


Announcing our new class read aloud.... The Mysterious Benedict Society.
Based on the book cover and its title, please make a prediction about what the story could be about. Remember, making predictions are what good readers do before and during reading.
Happy posting! I can't wait to read your predictions.

Area problem


Greg wants to put new carpet in his game room (which he only uses once he is done with his reading and math minutes for the night).
If his game room is 9 feet by 8 feet, Greg figures that he will need 63 square feet of new carpet.
Do you agree with him? Tell why or why not.
Prove it with your explanation.
