ELA:
We spent time working on punctuating with commas today. If you begin a sentence with "if", then you're going to need a comma in it. When you read the blog, think about where the comma goes in each sentence. This weekend be sure to read a book, play outside, and spend time with your family.
Wow, there's a lot ways to use a comma. Mrs. Cannon says, "Study your uses of a comma!"
Science:
We reviewed study skills for science success:
1. Study with a buddy.
2. Reread the chapter
3. Recopy your notes
4. Make flashcards-create sentences that talk about the relationship between the flashcards.
5. Have someone quiz you at home, or face time a friend to quiz each other.
6. Look up concepts online using "elementary" in the search terms to keep the explanations accessible.

Thank you so much for sharing this post on how to add and subtract fractions. You have explained it in a very understandable manner. I have been searching reading a lot of ways to add and subtract fractions and encountered only two ways. First is you used the LCM. This is best for smaller fractions. The other is to use butterfly method where you have to cross multiply the fractions. This method is best for bigger fractions and those that has no LCM. If you have doubt you can check your answers using fraction calculator with step by step solution. The step by step solution provided by the fraction calculator will let you guide if you miss a single step. Again thanks for sharing for this valuable information.
