Language Arts- Students will continue to revise their narratives.  They will also take a Grammar quiz on Friday, covering conjunctions, interjections and prepositions.

Math-  Students will finish Lesson 2, "Introducing Common Denominators."  They will take an open-note assessment over Lesson 2 on Wednesday.  They will be going over adding and subtracting fractions, by relating this information to clocks and money.  They will also be solving these problems using double number lines.  Bringing home their notebooks to look over the lessons should be helpful in reviewing for this quiz.
