Assignments: Review Homework #28 is due Friday. Finish the Section 4.4 worksheet for Thursday.
7th Grade Math: Today students began class with their flashmasters before jumping back into chapter 4. Today we reviewed the process of converting mixed numbers into improper fractions and vise versa. After we corrected the 4.6 worksheet, students were given the opportunity to ask questions and we did a few more example problems, before students were introduced to section 4.7 dealing with fractions and decimals.
Assignments: Review Homework #30 is due Friday.
Science: Today in science students continued our discussion concerning the differences between diffusion, osmosis and active transport. We then continued watching the film Osmosis Jones.
Assignments: Catch up on any missing assignments, as this is the last week of quarter number two!
