Week of May 20th, 2013

Hello students and families,

Welcome back to another wonderful week of school! Here are some of the topics we are currently covering:

Mathematics
In math, we are studying integers and putting our number lines to good use!

Remember, integers TO THE RIGHT of zero are greater than integers TO THE LEFT of zero. The further right you go, the greater the number. 

For example:

8 > -8

-3 > -9

First, get some extra help learning integers using the following online lessons:
