Well in just a day we will be back at it..!! I had someone tell me the other day that we only had like 50 school days left.. So by now that must be close to 40ish school days left. Now that may be exciting to YOU but my favorite super heros.. That’s NOT exciting to me! So much to cover and so little time!
 2nd and 5th Period: This week we are going to do some MAGIC! Yep... Super Heroes who do magic! We will be magically taking fractions and turning them into decimals.. And then guess what? Yes we will be turning them back into fractions.. Oh but that’s not all my little Super Heroes! No.. We will then be turning those decimals into percents! Oh the fun!

BLOG QUESTION 2nd and 5th Period:
Since you are a cool and groovy Super Hero and you wanted to protect the town of Newberg... and you knew that there was a huge flash flood coming... and in order to protect the town you would have to build a dam out of trees. It takes you 5 mins to pull up a huge tree and 5 minutes to move it in place. #1 If you had to move 50 trees how long would it take_______________?


4th Period: This week we are working on March Madness and also on a project that will deal with Soda. The project will have a part for each of you... working together! Should be fun and interesting!
