Please check in with your student to see if they still have supplies like pencils and remind them to charge chromebooks each night and bring them to school with their chargers.
ELA: Ms. Camden
We are well into our Dystopian Book Clubs. Students are thinking about power structures that exist in these worlds and how characters respond to power.
Students will be required to read one outside book for April and it cannot be a graphic novel or a book lower than their individual reading ability. Please remind your child that outside reading is required and the book form is a summative grade.
If your child has been absent, please check in with them to see if they are caught up with reading and classwork. My Daily Agenda can be found here and it is posted to Canvas.
Math: Mrs. Kanallakan
This week learners began the grass project! We planted grass seed and will use the growth to create and analyze data displays.
We have also started our geometry unit. Learners began finding the surface area of 3-dimensional shapes. After surface area, we will move into volume.
Learners also have weekly Khan practice that is due Sundays. Learners have been able to use class time and statesmen time to complete these skills. Please remind your learner to complete their practice by Sunday evening!
If your learner has been absent please encourage them to check out our Canvas page.
