Welcome back!
Math:
Today we worked on a logic problem and then learned about interest rates. Homework for tonight is to complete the work on simple interest in the textbook on page 130 #1-9. Remember to use the formula: Interest = Principle X Rate X Time

Science:
Today we have started a new unit in Science called Light and Optics. A title page was assigned, and is to be finished for Friday, it can be completed by hand or on the computer. Questions were assigned in class and they are to be completed for tomorrow.
