Math News
Next week we will continue working on topic 15 and have a test on Friday. There will be homework every night next week from our workbook. If your child has misplaced their workbook, you can print their practice workbook pages from the Pearson site.
We will be doing an ALEKS Blitz next week in class. We will have a contest to see who masters the most topics during our Blitz time each day. The Blitz time will be about 15 to 20 minutes of class time each day. I will only count the topics that are mastered during this time of the day. Good luck to all!
Don’t forget that you can access your child’s text book at www.pearsonsuccessnet.com Their username is their school number id and the password is richland2.
