Be sure to keep checking Google Classroom and the Homeowork Calendar for any work we do. Have a great Weekend and Week!

With Chapter 2 now underway, math students investigated compuation of fractions.  We used yummy KitKat bars to model how to multiply and divide fractions.  Who knew how educational candy bars could be?!?

On Wednesday, we will begin our unit on theme and central idea. The students will take notes on these topics on Wednesday and Friday. On Wednesday, Sept. 24th there will be an assessment over these topics and notes. Please encourage your students to study the evenings prior to the assessment.
