Dates to Remember:

Math -We will continue Unit 6, Multiplication, Division, Data and Fractions.

The students will solve problems that involve addition and subtraction of fractions using the line plot data.

This week's test will contain words with the Latin roots listed above. We will learn the definitions of the roots and words that contain them. The final test is scheduled for Friday, 4/28.

Social Studies:   The students will describe the "Long Walk" and be able to explain how the Navajo Council governs the Navajo Nation.

Science: Inventions are due on 4/24. Students will present their inventions on 4/26 and 4/27. We reviewed in class today how they can use their notecard to guide them in their presentation.    A Rubric went home as well so to help them with expectations. All inventions will be on display for Open House on 4/27.
