Ms. Jenn's Math and Science Class -

This week:    We added decimals up to the thousandths place and continued working on expanded, standard and word forms of decimals up to the thousandths place.  6th started plotting ordered pairs on the coordinate plane and continued adding and subtracting integers, putting them in order from least to greatest. In Science this week we continued to analyze and interpret data for patterns in the fossil record and found evidence in our reading to support claims made about fossils.
