In class our focus is on our coast prep and tidepool research project, and in math we’re continuing with our work with fractions. Here’s the math homework for this week: Monday, May 12th; Tuesday, May 13th; Wednesday, May 14th; Thursday, May 15th. Don’t forget to utilize the student tutorials for fractions. Here’s one on adding and subtracting mixed numbers. The kids have new vocabulary words, all oriented toward our coastal studies. The test will be on the 21st. Lastly, the kids posted their DARE essays on their individual webpages last week. Be sure to check them out!

If you’re willing and able to chaperone on the Table Rock hike and/or the Adopt-a-Street clean-up, please let me know.
