Class Updates
Social Studies: Despite such a short week, we accomplished a lot in class! Not only did we learn about the Peloponnesian War but we covered quite the historic presidential election. This week we will wrap up our coverage of the Persian War and Peloponnesian War with a Mastery Assessment this Wednesday. Make sure that you're studying and reviewing your notes and materials on Google Classroom!
Science: This week in science we will have a quiz on the levels of life. Study! We will start learning how to use the microscope this week. Students will need to learn the parts of the microscope and their functions. They will practice getting prepared slides of plants and microorganisms into focus. It should be a fun week!
Literacy: A Numeracy note from Literacy: we've completed 33% of the Latin root units already! Students have learned fifty-one Latin and Greek roots! It's amazing! Unit 5 will be presented next week and students will build the first few slides of their Omnictionaries! We'll also discuss some of Michael Pollan's Food Rules, and devour the first few chapters of The Omnivore's Dilemma!

English: Students finished their first performance task this week with narrative writing. Nice job tackling this project, Badgers! Next week we'll begin our classic literature unit! This unit starts with A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens -- but before we dive into the novel, we'll first gain a better understanding of the time period in which it was written.
Math: We are still working through our rational numbers chapter. It's a rough chapter, but we're almost done! Just a reminder that November's Go Figure is due on the 30th. We have another big project coming up so it would be nice to have it done early.
