Today, regular math students are taking their quiz on multiplying fractions. Homework tonight is in the workbook, Lesson 5-2, problems 10-17. Students must show how they changed the mixed numbers to fractions to get credit. Then they should multiply numerators and then do the same for the denominators. Remember to simplify your answers.

In advanced math classes, we will take our Blue Diamond Assessment 3 and 4, on fraction addition and subtraction. These students will take their quiz on multiplication of mixed numbers next week, as we will not have math class on Friday (see below). For homework tonight, they should do Workbook 5-2.

Remember that tomorrow is Veteran's Day. Take time to thank a veteran for giving of their time and energy and devotion to our country.

On Friday, the Anaconda team will run a "team time" schedule. The first hour, they will take their science test. Then they will do a social studies activity during the second hour, and take time to read library books when they are finished. Students who asked to be included in the spelling bee will have their competition during this time as well. After lunch and electives, our team will view "The Lightening Thief," a movie based on the book they are reading during language arts class. We will compare and contrast the movie and the book to note similarities and differences. Remember, the movie is BASED ON the book. It does not mean the movie IS the book!

Have a great weekend! Go HEELS! Beat Virginia Tech!
