MATH:
This week in math we are using variables to represent unknowns and to evaluate expressions. This is a key concept for moving forward in algebra. If your student misses a day, please have them review the lesson on Canvas.
Students with low grades have missing assignments. Check the "No Name" board or I have another copy so it can be completed and turned in
