OOPS!

I apologize that it has been a little while since I last updated.

Course 2 just finished up Chapter 4 and we are starting Chapter 5. Chapter 5 is our chapter on fractions! I love this chapter because we talk about pizza everyday. This week we will be adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions. This is a pretty quick chapter, please use Classzone.com for extra practice!

This week in Pre-Algebra the students are finishing their Data Project. I am exciting to see the finished products due Tuesday. We will then be starting Chapter 5: Plane Geometry. This chapter is heavy with vocabulary. Students may want to make note cards to help memorize the definitions.
