Team Updates
Exemplary Badger: Congratulations to Connor D. for being selected as our Exemplary Badger for next week! To be selected as the Exemplary Badger means that the recognized student is upholding all of the high standards to which the Badger students agreed at the beginning of the year! It means that their behavior is respectful; that they are responsible for their work and their grades; that they are kind!
Grade Book: We have switched our classes for Trimester 2. We ask for your patience, as it could take I.T. a couple of weeks to adjust our grade books. As always, please check your student's agenda each night. Core classes assign homework regularly.
Field Trip Information: Unfortunately, due to the delay on Friday, we had no choice but to cancel our field trip. We are in the process of coordinating with The Palace Theatre and will send updates once we have them. Thank you for your patience!

Class Updates
Social Studies: This week in Social Studies we started focusing in on Ancient Rome. Students were able to research various topics about Rome on our Chromebooks and we learned how the city of Rome actually came to be. This upcoming week we will start to discuss the Roman Republic and it's influences on our world today. Enjoy your weekend! Question to think about: Why is the United States of America a Democratic-Republic?
Science: This week in science we made analogies of the cell. Final presentations will be due next Wednesday. Everyone received a study guide for the test on Wednesday. Homework has been to study for over two weeks now. Keep studying! We will spend next week wrapping up our Cell Unit.
Literacy: Homework for this week concentrated on the next Latin root unit! In class, we continued to read The Omnivore's Dilemma! Remember to log in to the new Google Classrooms! Next week will be packed! Students will be introduced to the Omnictionary Slide project, and on Tuesday there will be the test on Latin Unit 6! Remember to use Quizlet to study!

English: Students finished a mastery assessment on contextual vocabulary words found in A Christmas Carol this week. We were also able to watch the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol on Friday in lieu of going to the Palace Theatre. Although many students were sad we couldn't make it to the play, they were excited to see the movie. Monday we will be comparing and contrasting the text to the motion picture, specifically focusing on evidence showing Scrooge's character change. Next week we have a lot on the horizon: R2, Landmark Fair, and the T1 Assembly!
Math: Students will continue to work on equations next week, solving simple one step equations. There will be a mini quiz on Wednesday and our Go Figure is due Thursday, December 22nd! Next, week will be a busy one.
