It's hard to believe only one more week until spring break! This year sure is flying by. If you could please let us know ahead of time if your student will be missing any class before or after, it would really help us out.
Thank you so much for all you do and all your continued support!

MATH
Old friends are doing a fantastic job at multiplying fractions and mixed numbers! We also spent time this week broadening students' understanding of calculating percents to include discounts...a skill that will can always come in handy! Next week we will conclude unit 8, review, and take our unit assessment on Thursday, March 19 (while our new friends take the PARCC test).
New Friends:
This week our mathematicians started Chapter 9 where we will focus on converting fractions to decimals to percentages with and without a calculator. As always, I encourage all students practice their math facts at home using XtraMath or TenMarks which is a new site we are using too!
