Academic Calendar and Connections for the Week of October 2

Friday

Students took their math Unit 1 test today. 

Ballroom Dance is going very well; there is a lot of enjoyment, kids are learning the dances well, and largely keeping focused.

Geography:  geography terms to describe landforms

Science:  Observations lab


Thursday

Math:  Students did a math pretest today, which they may take home to help them study for Friday's test.


Wednesday  

Our Math Unit 1 Test is Friday.  Students took home their problem set books today with questions most closely connected to the unit 1 test highlighted in yellow.   More specifically for HW today, students should do these problems: Page 124, No. 3, P. 112 1-2.  They should also focus/attempt:  P. 84, No. 3, and P. 225 No. 2. 

Ballroom Dance: Ms. Monique assigned a paragraph, due Friday, on the following topic: 

"How is your feeling about ballroom dance after your first week?" 

(Students are asked to write based on how they felt after day 2, rather than than how they are feeling now after day 4.  They have made much progress!)

Tuesday

Math:  Lesson 14.  Students were accidentally given the lesson 14 hw from a later module today in class.  Here is the correct sheet in HW Help.  Students will receive a class sticker if they do this homework and will be excused from a late homework if they do not.

Reading:  Students were assigned new reading groups and a second novel from the Mystery kit.

Ballroom Dance: Students began to learn the Rumba today and they did a great job today of listening, working together, and dancing really very well. Very cool to see.

Monday

Science:  Students read and took notes about the growth and life cycle of the Brassica seeds, made drawings of expected grown and actual growth.

Language Arts:  Students with teacher discussed possible choices for a book discussion centered on the author's technique and then students wrote a final  piece about what their author did well using supporting examples from their text.

Math was differentiated with students working on Zearn if they had shown an ability to divide decimal numbers by a whole number.
