Report Cards: The end of the trimester is quickly approaching. Grades close November 30th. Students, please check the grade book and ensure your work is submitted. You only have a few weeks left!
Team Donations: Our team supply of tissues and hand sanitizer seems to be dwindling, especially as we approach flu season. If you would like to donate these items, please send them to school with your child. Thank you to the families who have donated supplies thus far! We are most appreciative!
Field Trip: Information went home this week with students regarding our upcoming field trip. On Wednesday, December 12th, our team will be traveling to The Palace Theatre in Manchester to see a live performance of A Christmas Carol. Permission slips and payment are due to Mrs. McGuire by Tuesday, November 20th! Thank you to all students who have brought in their paperwork already! We also appreciate the extra donations that have been made!
Class Updates:
Social Studies: Students did a great job this week researching the Persian Wars. Students discovered the main themes behind the wars and ultimately why the Persian invasion of Greece failed. We will be starting a new topic on Monday!
Science: We'll have our quiz on Tuesday. Study the Levels of Life. There are links to the Quizlet from the google classroom to study or you can study from your notes.
Literacy: Students had a great week in the library with our amazing librarian, Mrs. Sand. They began the Atlas Obscura project from Google Classroom, went shopping in the Chrome Store for an extension for building bibliographic citations, and learned lots of new tech tricks. Because of our unexpected snow day, we missed our day in the computer lab with Mrs. Kauffman to learn the narration tool for the projects, so schedules have been adjusted. The Latin 5 test will be pushed to Tuesday, so that students will have time in The Mansion to work on projects with Chrome Books. Students should check Google Classroom for announcements about a new due date for the project. It's been pushed into Trimester Two!
English: We continued working on grammar this week, focusing mostly on subjects, predicates, fragments, and different types of sentences. The quiz originally scheduled for Tuesday, November 20th will be pushed back due to the snow day. Please be aware that the November independent reading project deadline is quickly approaching. Students should be nearly finished reading their books and moving onto the interview component. An example has been posted on Google Classroom.
Math: Due to the snow day on Friday, our test on Multiplying and Dividing Rational Numbers will be on Monday, November 19th. Be sure to look over the study guides! We will be starting our Expressions and Equations unit when we get back from Thanksgiving break.
