Grade 7 & 8 will continue learning about multiplying and dividing fractions. Several assessments went home for grade 7.
Science/Collab- Expo is Wednesday! Students should practice talking about their project!
Some questions to ask students: What is climate change? What have you done for your project to enact climate action? Why is it important? What does the research say? Did you talk to an expert? What have you learned?
