Weekly News

Can you believe it is February already?

This week in Math, we will begin the week by taking our Unit Test on Fractions. Students should expect to see basic fraction problems, story problems, and solve for the unknown problems. For the rest of the week, we will focus on learning how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals. We will make another foldable and practice basic problems in order to become proficient with this (as we did with fractions at the beginning of the unit).

In Science we will finish the Erosion and Deposition Unit by taking our Unit Test. On Monday and Tuesday we will review main concepts learned in the unit and take our test on Wednesday. Beginning on Thursday, we will begin our next unit on Plate Tectonics, focusing on how what the inside of the Earth is made up of.

In Advisory, it is expected that after this week, students will be done with all country projects. On Monday, February 1st, I will be checking that the students have the following Social Studies projects:

• 2 historical events that have taken place in the country being studied
• 2 holidays celebrated, including traditions/explanations of the holiday
• Government -- including the type of government, the leader of the country, and 3 unique laws in the country.

For the rest of the week, it is anticipated that students work on their three personal quality projects that they chose themselves. The completion of those projects will be checked on February 8th.
