In math we are continuing our fractions unit that we started on Friday. We are reviewing the basics of fractions, drawing pictures of fractions, and finding equivalent fractions. In writing we are writing our compare and contrast essay. We are starting the essay on Monday and it will be due on Friday. This is to be a 4 paragraph essay comparing and contrasting 2 things of the student’s choice. They should get most of it done during class this week if they are using their time wisely.

On Tuesday we took a Cumulative Math Test covering all that students have learned so far this year. We took this test to see what students have retained. They were able to use their textbooks to help them on the test. In writing this week, their essay is about a Career Day speaker. They are deciding who they would like to come speak for Career Day, and then persuading their classmates to vote for whom they want to come and speak.
