Weekly News

This week in Math we will be completing our Unit 3 test (on Monday).  On Tuesday, we are going to start Unit 4, beginning with basic exponent understanding.  We will then look at rules with exponents and transfer that into simplifying expressions with exponents in them.

In Science we will be working on our new unit on the Earth in Space.  This unit focuses on the sun, the moon, and the Earth and all the relationships that the three objects have together - different shapes of the moon, how/why we have different seasons, the tides, etc.  We will be doing an experiment with shadows, relating it back to the movement of the sun through the sky. 

In Advisory we will be continuing our practice with skills from the interim assessment.  We will be using our dry erase boards and competing for class points, in order to review these skills.  If anyone wants to bring in dry erase markers for the boards, I will give 200 points for each marker, for your table. 

Remember, students have NO SCHOOL on Friday, due to teacher professional development. 

Any questions?  Please ask!
