This 6 weeks in Math, we have been studying Money. We have begun to work on counting money with and without calculators in various sums. Some students are still working on counting by 1’s, 5’s, and 10’s consistently, while other students are able to add or count money up to $100. We will continue this theme throughout the year in order to develop their skill, as well as teach basic budgeting and living skills. Students will learn to keep a checkbook or checking account, and make “real-world” purchases. Thank you for working with your student at home on this as well.  
This six weeks in Science, we have been learning about basic cells and heredity. I have been quite pleased with how much the students have learned thus far. We will continue these topics through the remainder of the six weeks, and ultimatley learn about human systems. We are having fun in this class!  
Technology has been a fun class. We have worked hard on copying text accurately, learning the various systems of Word, writing original texts on various subjects, and learning to write informal letters. The students are also working to increase their typing times with fewer errors. If you have a computer at home, please help them work on these skills by just having them type something on Word. Thank you!
