Hunter has several chores to do before he could go swimming with his friend at 11:20 a.m. Unloading the dishwasher and putting away the dishes takes 12 minutes. Cleaning his room takes twice as long. Then he needs 20 minutes to pick up the sticks in the front yard so his dad can mow the lawn. It takes 34 minutes to walk to his friend's house, but instead he's going to save 20 minutes by riding his bike. What time does Hunter need to start his chores?

Example:

Alyssa rides her bike every day. The trail she rides is 6.5 miles to the end. If she rides to the end and back on the same trail every day, how many miles will she ride in the week?

Your answer should look like this:

Step 1: (check)

Step 2: How many miles she rides in a week.

Step 3: I know that the trail is 6.5 miles one way, and she rides there and back. (there are 7 days in a week)

Step 4: I will add 6.5 + 6.5 to tell me how far she rides in one day. Then I will multiply my answer by 7 because there are 7 days in one week.

Step 5: 6.5 + 6.5 = 13 miles in one day 13 miles x 7 days = 91 miles in  a week

Step 6: 91 miles

Now answer this question:
Edmundo and Alonzo were discussing the lengths of two long trails, the Pacific Crest Trail along the West Coast and the Appalachian Trail along the East Coast. The Pacific Crest Trail is 2,655 miles long. The Appalachian Trail is  2,161 miles long. If you round to the nearest hundred, approximately how much longer is the Pacific Crest Trail?

Emmy 1/25/11

Now that we have finished Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat, I would like to know if you enjoyed the book. Please take a moment to think about your favorite part in the story, why was it your favorite? Now write a description of your favorite part and why it was your favorite part.

Example:

 My favorite part of Emmy was when we meet the rat. The rat appears to be in a foul mood. He is not very nice at all. But who can blame him, he is stuck in a cage and eating gross rat pellets. The rat thinks Emmy is too nice and needs to learn to stand up for herself. However he does not have a nice tone or way of saying things. Emmy gets all flustered and yells at him. I loved how the rat seems all tuff until Emmy hurts his feeling because he is stuck in a cage.

This was my favorite part because we see the relationship that Emmy and the rat are going to have. Emmy seems to be very patient with him. I thought this part was very funny. I even felt bad for the rat. This is a memorable part of the story for me.

DON'T FORGET TO WRITE YOUR NUMBER!!!
