Math- We have finished module 2 and are preparing for module 3. This module is working on adding and subtracting fractions with and without common denominators. It is imperative that your child be at school each and every day. This will be a difficult module, especially if your child is absent. Failing grades can be done over for partial credit.
Science- This week we finished our work on classifying organisms and have taken both the classroom and CDA test for the county. We will be moving into genetics next week and for about the next 3 weeks.
If you have a picture/photograph of your child and parent(s), please send it in before next Wednesday as we are going to be discussing inherited traits and are planning on using these pictures!
I am available for science test retakes any morning this week, so please have your child let me know if they would like to come in the morning!
