Parents,

I apologize for the silly mistake we made on the G Force Gazette this week where we wrote down the wrong homework pages for today. They should complete pg.369 and 370. Tonight's homework, 6.7, was on comparing fractions. The video below can assist you in tonight's homework, if needed. You will also find this week's G Force Gazette with the corrected pages for tonight. Thank you.
