The Badger Team would like to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and a joyful New Year! We hope everyone enjoys their break! School resumes on Monday, January 6, 2020.
Class Updates:
Social Studies: We wrapped up our unit on Alexander the Great this week. Students were assessed Wednesday; be sure to check the grade book! When we come back after our two week vacation, we will start a new unit: Rome. Have a great holiday!
Science: After the holiday break we will be finishing up the Metabolism Unit with two summative assessments, a paper and a test. For the paper students will compare claims and evidence about an athletic performance and write and argument to support their claim. The test will include multiple choice and short answer/essay questions.
Literacy: Most students have completed and submitted their narrated Atlas Obscura projects. We have dedicated the past two weeks to this in class, and for homework. When we return from vacation, we'll present projects and get back to Latin Roots! If you haven't finished your project, find some time during the holiday break to get to the library if necessary, to finish up!
English: Students finished reading A Christmas Carol this week and completed their unit test. We also watched the movie together on Friday and discussed similarities and differences among the book, play, and movie. Students completed a graphic organizer that depicts the character change of Ebenezer Scrooge. Following vacation, students will receive their January independent projects and work on a character change project in the library. For now, ENJOY the next two weeks off! Rest, relax, and spend time with friends and family! Happy Holidays!
