Homework for the week of March 23 - 27, 2009

Upcoming tests for the week of March 30 - April 3.


Math: (Friday) fractions - simple fractions, finding equivalent fractions, adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators.

If you're still unsure of any of these, don't worry. We'll be working on them a lot in the coming week.





Friday!
No written homework but be sure to make some time over the weekend to do some reading. If you'd like to earn some extra credit, make some predictions about what will happen next in the book you are reading. Write them in your RRJ (or on looseleaf if you didn't bring your RRJ home). As you read, check your predictions to see if they were accurate or not.

Have a HAPPY WEEKEND!!!!!
