Ms. U's class will have their WTW test this Friday. In math we will work on adding and subtracting mixed numbers, as well as multiplying fractions.
- Ms. Harris' GT Math/ELA: This week in reading, we will continue working on nonfiction text structure and analyze a nonfiction Jacob's Ladder passage. Students will take a quiz on nonfiction text features on Thursday. Below is a power point to help with studying for that quiz.
