It would be helpful for students to continue working on these skills at home if they haven’t had enough time in class to master them.
Homework is to practice math for 15 minutes or more using MobyMax or Khan Academy, and to work on MobyMax FactMaster for 5 minutes.
Science: Today we learned about how the motion of the earth causes days, years, and seasons. Homework is to finish analysis 1-2 on p. 40.
