Science- We are continuing our study on body systems- their structures and functions. 

Math- Our chapter 11 test on measurement will be next Tuesday, April 3. We will be working on converting metric measurements this week and will begin reviewing on Thursday.  Ask you child to sing to you the metric song. Students should also be working on ALEKS at home (at least 20 min. each week). Ask your student what our new 4th quarter ALEKS goal is! 

The Metric Song

Milli, Centi, Deci, meter

Deka, hecto, kilo, too

Put them with a gram and liter

That is all you have to do

Milli is the smallest measure

Ten of these a centi makes

One hundred centis make a unit

That’s not very hard to take

Liters measure only liquid

Grams measure weight or mass

Meters measure length or distance

You can go to the head of the class

*To the tune of Reuben, Reuben
