We have started our unit on Fractions. This week we did our lessons using Zearn as our guide. Next week we will go back to the Pearson textbook and use the Zearn lessons as extra practice. The next ALEKS grade will include this week and next week so if your child did not get their 5 topics this week, don’t worry because we will get them done next week. We will also use our Zearn lessons as grades since we will be doing them in class. Our next topic test will be either March 23rd or March 24th.

This past week students have been reading an informational essay about the desert. We learned that here is a stated main idea and sometimes there can be an unstated main idea based on the details gathered about a subject. 
March is Women’s History Month. Next week students will read about the Women’s suffrage movement as they read “Women and the Vote.”
Please remind your student that reading logs are due on Wednesday. 5 points will be deducted from the grade for each day that the reading log is late unless the student is absent on the due date Students should have the reading logs in class everyday to show that they have completed reading homework.
