We are working on Geometry in Math. We are learning about perimeter and area this week as well as reviewing polygons, angles, and lines. It is pretty hard for students because there are so many little things for students to remember. We will be starting poetry this week.

Students will not have homework on Halloween so they can enjoy their night!

This week in math we are taking our Chapter 3 test. On Tuesday we will be reviewing and on Wednesday we will be taking the test. If students do not score an 85% or above on the test, they will be able do a retest and get up to an 85% on their retest. They can get their retest on Thursday if they wish to retake it.
