What is it? What can it mean? All those weird symbols... Well, these are some examples of how third grade students have ended the story of Fat Cat. This decoding activity had students working to figure out symbols of the Nurtz alphabet. Each symbol represents a letter in our alphabet.

Noetic Learning is an organization dedicated to bringing high-quality mathematics learning materials to students, parents and educators. This year Jones had 23 contestants in the fifth grade competition  who took pencil and paper in hand with over 20,000 students from 473 schools. Noetic honors students scoring in the top 10% nationwide as well as those with the highest score in their school. There are medals for both awards!

Laurie said on page 37 that they got other lifeforms and who's to say that he does not  have a fish or a seastar?  They are predators of the freshwater mussel. Poop i Laurie's aquarium is probably very crowded now that there are about 100 different lifeforms in there so Fresh would not have any personal space.
