Class Updates
Social Studies: This week we started our mini Government unit in which we investigated the three types of government and took an in-depth look at democracy and the American government. We will wrap up this unit on Tuesday when we take our second mastery assessment. Starting Wednesday, we will start our Classical Civilizations unit as we begin in Greece! Have a great weekend! Question to think about: There are 535 Congressmen but only four of them represent New Hampshire; what percent of Congress represents New Hampshire?
Science: This week in science we learned how to make dichotomous keys. Next week we will use keys to identify trees, mammals, and other organisms from our ecosystem, the deciduous forest.
Literacy: It was Chrome Book City in the Mansion! We spent the week working on a variety of assignments from the Literacy Google Classrooms! Students read an article about GMOs, responded in Google Docs, and began a project associated with historic fiction book they are reading. Great week! Next week we dive into Latin Unit 2, and continue working on projects in Classroom!
English: It was a busy week in English class! Between I-Ready testing and Cornerstone writing, our Badger students stayed very busy! Next week, students will have a quiz on Tuesday, October 4th - please review the "Oranges" graphic organizer to prepare, as well as grammar and vocabulary words on Quizlet. Towards the end of the week, we'll be in the computer lab using Naviance software to explore career paths.
Math: We are going to be focusing on perseverance this week. You will be getting your first Go Figure of the year, due October 28th. Then for the rest of the week we will finish up with Integers and start working with fractions! Everyone's favorite!
