Homework pages went home today. Please encourage your student to do the work. I am counting it for a homework grade. We read, Shadow of a Bull, today and worked on our math. Then we stopped to watch the swearing in of the President and listen to his speech. I am just thinking, the next time this happens they will be in 8th grade and much more aware of what is going on in the world.
In math we are still working on equivalent fractions, but it is going one step further. Students are given two fractions that are equivalent, however either the numerator or denominator is missing on one of the fractions. They must show their work, how did they get the answer. By showing their work they can logically recognize if the answer makes any sense. We also are doing the simplest fraction which basically is, how far can you reduce the fraction. Most of the students did not finish in class and should have worksheets to take home.
On Friday, at 2:00, we will be celebrating the 100 days of school with a short assembly. As it is Martin Luther King day today, students received a little booklet about him today. I encouraged them to talk about it with their parents.
