Weekly News

This week in Math we will be taking our unit test on Variables and Patterns. Starting on Wednesday, we will start our new unit of "Stretching and Shrinking" which deals with identifying similar figures by finding the scale factor for corresponding side lengths. We will look at the relationships between sides, angles, perimeter, and area to help us identify these similar figures.

In Science we will continue our second Chemistry Unit by looking more closely at the three materials we studied last week (Plastic, aluminum, and glass). Students will make a life cycle diagram after reading about the life cycle of these materials. At the end of the week, students will look at properties of common materials, and will sort the materials based on their properties.

In Advisory students will be expected to show me the remaining 2 areas for their learning plan by Friday. On Friday, I will do the final check in, and on this day I expect to see ALL FIVE of the mini-projects students have completed. In past check-in's, I have suggested things to students regarding information to alter, add to, put in own words, etc. On this Friday, I expect that this is done for all 5 projects.

On Monday, there will be an exhibition sign-up note coming home (there will also be a post on here that you can respond to) regarding options for dates and times. Please choose your time and date quick because it will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Any questions? Let me know!
