March 27th - March 31st

We are heading in to our last week of March and soon it will be Spring Break followed by SMARTER Balance testing. This week we will be reviewing our Chapter 10 Fractions in math. At the end of the week we will be having another quiz. They will be getting some fraction math games to work on at home to get them familiar with the concept again. Our practice test on Time on Friday had some low scores, and so we spent Friday working on some math games to help them spend more time with elapsed time, and working backwards. Working backwards in time has been challenging for the students.
