Weekly Work Checklist
Science with Ms. Hoyle
In science we will be finishing up our Space Science unit with a project. The project will require students to fill in a PowerPoint template that I will provide for the kids. They will need to use the information in their reading to fill in the information. Then Friday we will start our health unit.
Math with Mrs. Bange
We will begin learning about probability this week. Tuesday-Friday students will have watch a short video and take notes. Tuesday and Wednesday they have a short practice assignment, and Thursday and Friday students will work on their graded assignment for the week, which is to use a probability tool and find the probability of an event of their choice.
Students should try their best to attend live sessions for clarity and understanding. Students are encouraged to email, message, or sign up for office hours if they need help.
Language Arts with Ms. Griem
Language Arts this week will be completing our close read of the article “Total Control in North Korea”. We are going to continue to focus on our Essential Question: What are the positives and negatives of challenging the status quo? Please remind your students to be checking grades, as they will be updated daily as students turn in work. Remember to stay positive!
World Geography with Mr. Akagi
Next week in World Geography, we are continuing our unit on Sub-Saharan Africa. We are going to create our own political cartoons in regard to Sub-Saharan Africa, and we will also be creating an anti-poaching infographic; lots of Native African wildlife like elephants, lions, and other animals, are threatened by poaching. Students will create their own poster with images and content that should dissuade people from poaching.
