Math - Homework is due on Monday concerning subtracting fractions.  I will be handing out a series of review questions and there will be a quiz on Wednesday on adding and subtracting fractions.  We will then move onto multiplying fractions using a method you may not be familiar with.   Check out: https://learnzillion.com/lessons/213-multiply-fractions-by-fractions-using-area-models

Homework should be expected for Thursday.

Science - Interactive notebooks were due on Friday.  I have evaluated the ones handed in and will be returning them to students on Monday.  We are looking at the parts and operations of microscopes this week.  Notes will be taken on Monday and Tuesday, with comprehension questions assigned each day (just one or two).  

Lunch time help is available on Tuesday and Thursday this week.

 

Here's to a great week! The phrase today is: "History repeats itself"
