We look forward to seeing families tonight and tomorrow for student-leds.

Math: Keep up on your basic facts over break.

Science: Vision Impairment Task. Many of the students were just finishing up on it yesterday. If they did not quite finish, it now needs to be finished over Spring Break as they were give a lot of class time to work on it. Our presentations will begin right after the break.

The Spring Fling Dance is tomorrow Wednesday March 20th, periods 5 and 6.  Admission to the dance and Aux gym activities (limbo, face painting, 9 square, etc) is free. The servery will be selling chips, drinks and candy for a $1 each.

In Math we have been starting our class with mental math. I know some of you really wanted to try the hard one today, but we didn't get to it in class so here it is. Let me know your answer tomorrow if you try it at home!

In Science we looked into different types of animal eyes:

Your Optical Illusions are due on MONDAY

Math Quiz tomorrow

Need more practice? Here you go: Multiplying Fractions Practice

Math: We have focused our learning on using the algorithm for multiplying a fraction by a fraction. We talked a lot about how to solve our fractions in more efficient ways than just multiplying straight across the numerator and the denominator. On Friday there will be an MIA on multiplying a fraction by a fraction using an array and efficient strategies.

Science: We've looked at many cool illusions and have learned how our eyes/brains create these illusions. On Monday your hand drawn illusions are due.
