Grade Information: Trimester two officially closed on Friday, April 3rd. Report cards will be emailed to parents on April 15th.
Class Updates:
Social Studies: It was nice connecting with many students this past week via Zoom. I will continue to offer daily Zoom calls for each of my five classes moving forward. It is a great way to reinforce concepts that are being introduced on Google Classroom in addition to simply allowing us to feel some sense of normalcy. Students were introduced to feudalism last week, they researched and ultimately investigated whether or not if it's a fair social system. We will continue feudalism this week along with going off course for a little to research the Vikings.
Literacy: The Junior Scholastic assignment caused lots of confusion, but I was really proud of how well many of your children problem solved! Next week, as Trimester 3 begins, we will plan for a test on Latin Unit 10, begin Latin 11, and continue to read some great articles in Junior Scholastic. No worries - I'll only post the PDF of the article from this point forward. Please check the grade book. If you see any 0's, it means that you didn't complete that assignment. You have until Tuesday to complete anything for T2. Please remind your children to read directions, follow directions, and to TURN IN their assignments.
Science: This week in science we will finish investigating what can change the number of deaths in a population and then review for a multiple choice quiz on Wednesday and a short answer quiz on Thursday. Friday we will begin working on Amplify population puzzles.
English: Thank you to everyone who submitted their March IRP projects. There are still MANY students who have not. Just as a reminder, these were due on 3/31 and will need to be submitted for a grade. As Mrs. Simeone mentioned above, please check the grade book online. If your students have zeroes in the grade book, it means they did not complete the particular assignment given that day. This upcoming week we will focus on the last two chapters in The Giver and wrap up our reading unit!
Math: Yay, to all the students who turned in their Food Truck project Friday. I have left the window open to submit for the week because some students had some technical difficulties. Tuesday we start learning about theoretical probability.
