Week 13: November 3- November 7

Math:  This week in Math we are learning how to convert improper fractions to mixed numbers and mixed numbers to improper fractions.  Most students seem to be doing well with this task, but are occasionally making simple mistakes because they are not fully showing their work.  I have iterated to the students many times how important it is for the students to show all of their work on a separate sheet of paper.  Please help me enforce this with the students as you work with them at home.

Science:  We finished our reader's theatre last week revolving around our Earth Structure's myths.  We are waiting until the new class schedules begin to continue working with our knowledge of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Homework:  The students should finish their "Musical Fish" worksheet and their "Witch" worksheet (Not all students were given the "Witch" worksheet).  Math's Mate Term 2 Sheet 2 is due Friday.
