Monday is Memorial Day - No School!
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
Class Updates:
Social Studies: This week students covered the Crusades and had an assessment on Friday. This upcoming week, we will begin a new topic that greatly relates to the global pandemic that is happening right now. Hopefully students will make a lot of connections and ask great questions!
Literacy: We did it! We finished all twelve units of Latin and Greek roots! The mastery test on Unit 11 was Friday and most kids remembered to take it. I hope the rest remember to log in to Google Classroom over the next few days to take the test. The very last test of the year will be given on Tuesday. It's part two of the Latin 12 test, the writing comprehension part. Students will be given a slide show with directions, a word bank, and a selection of six writing prompts from which to choose. They are encouraged to write a rough draft on Tuesday, and edit on Wednesday before they submit their final work.
Science: Last week students started a group project analyzing evidence about a parrot population in Tasmania. This week students will use the evidence to write a group CER (claim, evidence, reasoning) to determine why the parrots are decreasing. Students will finish the week with questions to review what they learned this year.
English: Students should have submitted their rough draft for the SIX PARAGRAPH persuasive essay this past week! I left specific comments and suggestions throughout the week and students took time Friday to revise and edit their work. Final drafts, which count as a mastery grade, will be submitted this upcoming week.
Math: Students will be wrapping up their data unit this week. We will be learning about populations and samples. Study guides will come out Friday week. Our last test of the year will be scheduled June 2nd!
