I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break! Welcome back! Check out the above video and ask your student what it means to them. Here's what to expect this week-
Science- We are beginning to review past concepts for our upcoming MAP test. We will discuss the scientific method and apply it to a force investigation. Students were given the opportunity to "re-take" their force and motion test on Friday before break and still have that option (link to test in science tab). Retakes will be due Wednesday. Test grades will be emailed to students later this week.
Writing- Portfolios went home the Thursday before Spring break and are due back tomorrow (Tuesday). Please celebrate your student's hard work on their 2nd argument essay! This week, students will begin to work on their DARE essay. Click HERE for more information on the DARE essay!
Math- We are completing our study of geometry (chapter 12) this week! We will be finding the volume of composite figures and problem solving. Our chapter 12 test will be on Thursday. Students should also be working on ALEKS at home (at least 20 min. by Friday). Ask your student what their new 4th quarter ALEKS goal is! We want 100% of the class to go to the 4th quarter ALEKS Pie Party! :)
Reading- We are continuing to analyze, discuss, and answer higher level questions relating to complex passages and texts as we prepare for the MAP test.
