Weekly News

This week in Math we will begin our next unit on fraction, decimal, and percent basics. This week we will first begin discussing equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions, and turning mixed numbers into improper fractions, and turning improper fractions into mixed numbers. We will also continue our division timed tests. Last but not least, do not forget that the Math MEAP will take place on Tuesday.

In Science we will finish our "Studying Soil Scientifically" unit with our test on Monday. For the rest of the week, we will begin studying rocks, including looking at various rock characteristics.

In Advisory I am anticipating that the students are almost done with most of their projects. Although many students appear to have the information they need for their project, most students have not started working on the project, so I would advise them to start doing that at this time. In the coming weeks, students will learn about the extra projects they will have to do in addition to their learning plan, so finishing their learning plan projects would be a good idea at this time.
