Whatever you are, be a good one.  ~Abraham Lincoln

Math- Fractions, fractions, fractions! We are learning equivalent fractions, mixed number, improper, how to line fractions onto a decimal and etc.  It is a long unit and I have broken fractions into two different final tests.  It has been an enjoyable and exciting chapter!

Science- We are starting electricity instead this week.  On Tuesday a gentlemen from Rocky Mountain Power is coming to do a presentation.

    WRITING- We will continue to practice the steps of the writing process.  And be doing a lot of practice

on utahwrite.com. If your student would like to practice writing at home please visit utahwrite.com.  I have not yet received the date of when this test is going to be administered but I do know somewhere around the end of February or beginning of March.   The students are getting exhausted from all of the writing however, each student has made big stride in improving their writing abilities.  It has been exhilarating to watch their growth.
