<strong>Math</strong></td>
<td width="506" valign="top">Because the results from the mid-unit 7 quiz were not very good across the board I decided to not count that quiz as part the 3<sup>rd </sup>quarter grades. What we will do is review fractions with unlike denominators on Monday and take another mid-unit 7 quiz on Tuesday. We will also learn about how to rename fractions as decimals and decimals as fractions. As well as use fraction cards to determine whether a fraction is greater or less than another fraction, and use pattern blocks and counters to find the ONE (whole) for given fractions.    </td>

-         If your child has not turned in a trip slip for our April 19<sup>th</sup> field trip please have them turn it in as soon as possible.

-         During Health class I want to start teaching kids how they can make healthy snacks themselves. I would really appreciate it if you can send dried fruits and nuts to class.  Also, if your child has any food allergies, please let me know.</td>
