Hello and welcome to Week 23! We're in Quarter 3: Facing Challenges. This unit asks us, "when should we stand up for other and ourselves?" We will continue discovering our answers with the start of our novel study, "Tangerine" by Edward Bloor. We're almost through Part One! We are continuing with our Greek/Latin Root Words and start Unit 17: "Can I Trust You?." As always, we're working on our reading stamina with 10 minutes, daily, of free reading Absences- If a student is absent, they are responsible for making up all missed work in a timely manner. This can be done through Canvas. There is a message on our Canvas homepage with specific directions on what to do when absent. Please make sure your student comes to class every day with their ELA folder, a charged Chromebook and their Chromebook charging cord. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Math - Mr. Collins
This week we will begin our Integers and Rational Numbers unit by comparing whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Then, we will introduce negative numbers and use positive and negative numbers to describe quantities having opposite directions. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Science- Ms. Parker
Students completed and presented their Planet Projects. They were amazing and so creative. This week, we will be finishing up our Solar System Unit and taking the Unit Test at the end of the week. We will review in class, make our own study guide, and practice test questions. We also hope to be outside one day , weather permitting, to test and launch rockets. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Social Studies - Ms. Crosson This week we will complete our lessons on West Africa. We will also take a moment to analyze culture and discuss what culture is in our lives today. We will also begin learning about the diaspora in Mesoamerica. We will begin our journey with learning new vocabulary terms and analyzing the geography of the region.
