     This week in math, we will take our end of module test for geometry. Students will take their test on Tuesday. When we return to school in January we will begin module 5. Our new module will cover fraction concepts. Students will learn how to decompose fractions, add and subtract fractions, multiply fractions by fractions and whole numbers, how to change an improper fraction into a mixed number, how to compare fractions with unlike denominators, and how to find equivalent fractions.
     Students will have an optional assignment to complete during winter break. I will give students a hard copy in class. I will also email a copy to parents. Students can earn both extra credit for their math grade and tickets. 


     This week in science we will dicuss conductors and insulators. Conductors are materials that let heat pass easily through them and insulators limit the amount of heat that is let through. We will discuss that sometimes having one type of material is better than the others, depending on the job to be done. 

Have a wonderful winter break,
