Activities and Assignments for September 2-5
The specific lesson outlines for all six teachers on the Maxwell Intermediate School fifth grade team have migrated to the M.I.S. fifth grade link on the Maxwell website. The Max Lab blog will continue as a site for expanded tips, clues, hints, and help on math and science. So, continue to look here for a link to lesson outlines not just for Mr. Ellars but for Mrs. Ashley's outlines all at one location.
