Things to do over spring break in Math-
Students can continue working on their fraction booklets. After spring break they will be writing a test on Fractions to Decimals to Percents. Mr. S. will be starting a unit on Stats and Probability and Circle graphs.
In Science, the students going to the science fair need to work on their back boards over the break. When we come back we will continue to work on Chemistry- The 3 states of matter. If you did not finish your career searching for mining, please do that.

Education Flowchart - Due Thursday Feb 14
Create at least 8 steps in the flowchart as to the direct effect of Akuni going to school.
Story:
Alunki is 7 and lives with his family in Jaipur in northern India. He comes from a family of rag pickers, who collect rags from other people’s rubbish and sell them to earn a living. Alunki used
to have to work all day with his family. But recently he has been going to a World Vision informal education center, which has helped him to catch up on the schooling he has missed so far. And he is about to join a school with children his own age so he can continue his education.
