Today your child is bringing home progress reports for each class. We had time in class for students to find missing work, gather new copies, and meet with a teacher to clear up questions. Please sign and return the progress reports on Monday.

Math
We will be having our first math test next week. It will cover equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, adding fractions, and subtracting fractions.

Students will have Thursday to do test corrections. This test will be on the first quarter report card.
