This is going be a short entry based on two items.

The first concerns the students' successful completion of a JUMP Math review on adding and subtracting fractions using denominators with the same number.  The quiz was out of 13 and the majority of the class scored 12 and 13 and were very proud of themselves.  We will continue with an extensive review of what to do when the denominators are different when adding and subtracting fractions.  Please ask your son or daughter how they did on this quiz.  I am sure they will be happy to share the results!

The second item concerns the Ideal Society project we have started working on.  This is based on the novel, The Giver.  Over the weekend, they have a worksheet to work on thinking about two solutions and two problems they would solve if they were envisioning an "ideal society/community."  Here is the chart we brainstormed about the problems in today's society:
   Have a great weekend.
