Class Updates
Social Studies: This week we completed our mini Government unit and started Classical Civilizations! For the next few weeks, we will explore Ancient Greece. We will learn about Athens and Sparta, Greek Mythology, and Ancient Greek culture. Question to think about: How has Ancient Greece influenced our world today?
Science: Next week some Badger students will be traveling with me to Charlotte Ave Elementary School to teach kindergarten science classes. We have been working very hard to prepare our lessons and we can't wait to go! All Badger students will learn about the Latin and Greek words that make up the scientific names of fish. We will read about a misclassified skunk and practice using field guides too.
Literacy: It was a really busy week! Everyone checked their grades on the student portal, and wrote goals to help them improve grades that might not reflect their best effort! The goal is for all Badger students to keep their grades above a 70% ! Next week is a short one, but will be jam packed! The most important news for next week: Mastery Test on Unit 2 of Latin roots is on Friday, October 14!
Students should be working on their Google slide shows!

English: Students did a great job this week setting SMART goals and exploring career paths using Naviance software with Mrs. Kauffman and Mrs. Lamere. I loved watching everyone use Triple E writing in their responses and reflections. Students also began reading some Greek mythology, which will continue for the next couple weeks. Lastly, October book orders went out and are due back no later than Friday, October 14th! There are many Halloween-themed books this month! Enjoy your long weekend, Badgers!
Math: Our first Go Figure is out! Please be working a little bit every week. I will take projects early and will make pre-corrections prior to the due date. Next week we will be wrapping up integers, and starting rational numbers. Let the fraction fun begin! Hint: you should use your day off to study for the test!
