5th grade is currently working on Topic 8 which covers multiplying fractions. We will also be covering volume and order of operations at this same time.
You will see an adding and subtracting fractions quiz come home next week in Thursday Folders.

Next week we will break the colonies down into sections starting with the southern colonies, then we will move to the middle colonies, and we will end with the New England colonies.

Next week we will have a test over classifying matter and move on to conservation of mass and chemical reactions.
