This week in math, students continued their study of Geometry as they looked at finding the area of composite figures, as well as recognizing bases, edges, vertices, prisms, and pyramids. Students represented 3D figures with nets while using area formula's to find surface areas. Next week we will add volume of geometric shapes to the unit. Science/Social Studies Students have been learning about Plate Tectonics and Our Earth's Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and other land structures. This week students completed their "Diary of a Plate of Earth" journal.

Students completed their last unit in this 3rd quarter. Next week time will be spent in review of all the goals dealing with equations and expressions. Students should continue to go back and watch videos from their earlier iCurio units to review what we did this quarter. Students should also continue to work on their IXL's and Ten Marks lessons. Both of these digital activities are great ways to get immediate feedback on your progress and understanding. In Science Students have started a new unit in Science pertaining to the Earth and its structures. This week, students focused on the structure of the earth's layers based on their relative position. Next week they will continue to study the composition of each layer of the earth. Important Reminders: Mar. 15 - PTSO Staff Luncheon Mar. 22 - Reading EOQ Mar. 23 - Math EOQ March 25 - April 1 - Spring Break Math:As we approach the end of the third quarter, students are finishing up their last few units in iCurio. It is recommended that students regularly check their grades in Blackboard to keep apprised of the assignments that they need to complete prior to the end of the quarter. Students should be going back and watching videos from their earlier iCurio unit to review what we did this quarter. Students who are absent should check in their iCurio units for assignments. Be sure to work on your IXL's, and Ten Marks lessons. Both of these digital activities are great ways to get immediate feedback on your progress and understanding. Social Studies:
This week we completed our iCurio unit "Geography Influences Culture through History" Students researched and created their own "Family Tree". They also participated in peer grading, in which they graded their own work and reviewed the work of other students. Next week we will look at the science iCurio unit "The Earth" |
