Over the weekend:

-Math: Finish both sides of the long division practice sheet. Show the remainders in fraction form or divide them out into decimals. -Science: If you can, watch the rest of the PBS documentary on the wolves of Yellowstone National Park. Here's the link: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/in-the-valley-of-the-wolves/introduction/212/ Think about these questions for Monday: Other than wolves, what parts of the Yellowstone ecosystem food chain are shown in the film? How do those animals relate to the wolves? How would the food chain be different if there were no wolves? What are the wolves' biggest threat?
