Academics
Math: The scores on the last math test were not stellar, and we will continue to go over the information covered in Module 13. We are moving on to Module 14 and we will continue to cover fractions. This is a short module with the Module test on Friday. I feel that this Module is easier than the last module, but we will have to wait and see if that is truly the case.
