1.  Math 
This week we will be learning about probability, practicing our multiplication and division algorithms, continuing mountain math, and working in our new Math Writing Workbooks. 

If you would like to practice some probability problems visit the website below.  It will take you to the IXL website.  You can have about 15 free minutes a day, so don't bug mom and dad about subscribing to the website.
