Google Classroom Guide For Parents

Mrs. Delaney, our technology integrator, created a short video clip explaining how to navigate Google Classroom and manage assignments. We thought our Badger parents may find it useful! Click here to view the video! 


Enrichment Work: We have put together a new Google Classroom for students who finish their class work early and are looking for additional ways to stay busy. Mrs. Simeone, Mrs. McGuire, and Mrs. Folini have come up with an interdisciplinary project that ties in all three subjects.  Each Monday we will post the week's mission.  Students are encouraged to work virtually together, or they can choose to work alone. This page is intended for students who are caught up with all their work in each class.  Moving forward, this will be an optional, UNGRADED assignment.  The code to join What's Cookin' Badgers? is: dl2hnrf  


Earth Day!  This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of Earth Day!  The Badger Team has always marked the day with team activities centered around learning why and how we should respect our planet.  Although we cannot be together for our activities this year, we were able to schedule a Badger Team Day this past Friday.  Students were notified in our Google Classrooms about the fun, enrichment activities! Students should submit their creations to their first period teacher on or before Monday, April 27th. 



Class Updates: 

Social Studies: Students were introduced to the Magna Carta this past week. We will continue learning the impact that it had on our world and how it connects to the United States. In addition, we are going to start investigating the development of kingdoms in Europe. There will be an assessment on Friday. 

Literacy:  Students should expect a mastery test on Latin Unit 11 this week.  They should be preparing as they always have for a mastery test.  

Science: We are continuing with chapter 3 in Amplify.  We will use the simulation this week to see what can affect the size of a population besides its resource and consumer populations.

English: Students completed the final assessment for The Giver unit this past week. Please check in with your student, as many of them have not completed and submitted their mastery assignments. I hope every one has a great weekend!! We will be transitioning to a persuasive writing unit starting on Tuesday! 

Math: Students will finish up their probability unit this week.  We will spend this week learning about complex probability.  Students will have a test Tuesday May 5th.  The study guide will go out May 1st.
