We only have about 30 days left of school. It seems like the year is only half over and then, suddenly, we're almost done! We'll have our final math test this coming Thursday. The reflection, rotation (turn), and translation (slide) problems are very straightforward, but also have your child continue reviewing how to add or subtract fractions with different denominators. These will be on the test again, as will naming fractions as decimals and percents.

Homework:

Language Arts -  Word Study Lesson 15, both sides

Math -  Problems Sets 66 and 68 to review for the test.
