Team Updates
Seacoast Science Center Trip: We could not have had a more glorious day to be at the rocky shore of the Granite State! It was sunny, cloudless, warm and breezy. We were all very proud of our students who behaved like great representatives of Pennichuck Middle School. Be sure to ask your students to share the highlights of their experiences! Many thanks to our wonderful chaperones, who were so willing to climb on the rocks, and help our students have an enjoyable day. We are most appreciative of your time and attentiveness. We hope that you enjoyed spending a lovely day with your children and their friends in this extended classroom!
Garden Needs: Badger team is revamping the garden here at Pennichuck. As you prepare to do your own spring clean up work at your homes, consider making a donation to our team! We are looking for the following items in good working condition:
- bow rakes
- metal shovels
- a wheel barrow
- cultivators and/or hoes (hand or standing)
- trowels
Please no: pitchforks or sickles!
Silver Knights Field Trip: The Badger team will be attending the Silver Knights field trip at Holman Stadium on Tuesday, June 6th from 10-2:30 PM.
Class Updates
Social Studies: Next week we will wrap up our unit on the Renaissance. Students should study and organize their notes over the weekend as they will have a Mastery Assessment on Monday and then will start their final Performance Task on Friday. Busy times are ahead but summer is near!
Science: Next week in science, students will be researching their endangered species and preparing a presentation. Use the link below for resources and project directions. This is an interdisciplinary project with Literacy. Ask your students at the end of the week to practice presenting it to you. We can't wait to see the presentations!
Endangered Species Campaign
Endangered Species Campaign
Literacy: As Mrs. Tino has said, next week is all about the Save a Species Campaign project. Every Badger student will be afforded two full class periods per day to research, using technology as well as print materials from the library! Certainly, those who are truly committed to the project will continue their work at home! We are expecting the projects to be of exemplary quality!
English: It's a very busy week in English! Students will be submitting their creative writing projects tomorrow, as well as taking their last vocabulary quiz! We're also going to read the last five chapters of the book. Perfect timing! Over the weekend, Badgers were assigned reading homework; they should ALL be on chapter 31 by tomorrow! We still have much to do before the year ends!
Math: The Markup/Markdown quiz has been changed to Monday. Please be sure to come prepared. There are extra practice pages and instruction videos posted on my Google Class. We will be covering our last topic, simple interest at the end of the week. The year isn't over yet! There will be a test on our Percent unit June 14th!
