Homework this weekend is math review and students should complete their biography reading and the information that goes along with it. This is due March 26th. We'll be typing their information into the Facebook template.
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH:We completed our lessons this week. We also discussed proper hygiene as they are growing up and changing. I encourage you to find a time to talk with you child about the changes they will be going through. Of course you can find books at the library and bookstore to assist you.
Math:
Students have been taught all lessons and have reviewed concepts as we've introduced new ones. We will be reviewing and doing the study guide next week. The test is Thursday. Again, concepts have included, converting customary and metric units of length, perimeter, and area squares, rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms.
Reading:
We finished reading The Fighting Ground and will continue some discussion and activities into next week. This has required them to make several inferences about character motives and feelings. I have been very proud of the students as they have been able to show that they can use quotes and text information to respond to questions more independently.
Writing:
Students completed their point of view/voice pieces based on the story "Dear Mrs. LaRue". They have been practicing their presentations and making their props for their mock talk shows, news reports, etc. next week for the class. They will videotape these and add to them to their web pages in Infotech.
Spelling:
This week's skill was adding suffixes to base words. Next week's skill will be possessive nouns.
Next week's word study list is below. Your child should study the word list if needed.
Science: We began our Systems unit with the body systems. We have had to do reproductive health during this time. next week students are working in groups to research a body system such as skeletal, respiratory, muscular, etc. and then are creating posters to present their information.
