* Science: We will continue to learn about ecosystems and the changes that occur due to natural causes and human influence this week.
*Math: We will continue to work on ch. 2 addition. We will practice a timed facts test every day. Beginning Fri. 10/4, the tests will count for a grade (10 points). If your child does not pass Fri. (they are allowed to miss one), they will retake Mon. for a grade of 9/10 points. From that point on, each retake day will result in one point deduction. Thank you for practicing these facts at home.
Have a beautiful, fall weekend!
