Our latest CASI results reflected some key improvements in grammar, character trait analysis and features of narrative.  I was impressed with the gains from the Level two to Level three that the students made as a class since September.  We also had a number of Level four scores which were not present at that time.  Way to go boys and girls!
Monday HW
1.  Math Text page 411 # 3 and 4.
2.  Math HW book pages 156-57.
3.  Math Unit 8 Quiz on Lessons 10 and 11 on Wednesday May 18.
We have skipped to the final chapter to work on probability because of the connections between fractions and percent that we have just finished working with.  This is a short chapter and we will return to Measurement directly afterwards.
