Math
Today we subtracted fractions using mixed numbers. Often the problems involved having to borrow from a mixed number to make it more suitable for subtracting. It was a bit difficult, but I think I got to everybody. Please make sure that when papers are returned that your child is receiving a "check" or a "check plus". If a "check minus" is coming home, your child misunderstands the concept and needs some help. I am always around if your child needs a little one on one before or after school, and of course you may conference with me at any time.

Discussed expository text features and started a small writing project.
Science
Starting Chapter 3 : the human body. If your child received a "1" on this last test, sign it and have them correct it, so I can give them a "2". I'd rather reserve the "1"s for students who don't care, and the "2"s for students who are making an effort.
