Note from the Teachers
We are noticing many students not coming to class with charged Chromebooks. This causes problems in the classroom because there are not many outlets to charge and students have to leave class to get their chargers. If your student is not in the habit of charging their Chromebook at night, please remind them to do so nightly.
6 Integrity Student of the Week
In each newsletter, we will recognize a student who exemplifies our school values, especially our team value of integrity. We will start this in a couple weeks.
This week, we are excited to recognize Riley Long. We are so proud of Riley. She went above and beyond to help a student. She was proactive and showed respect, responsibility, kindness and organization. We are so proud of her. Keep up the good work Riley!

April 15-26
We’ll continue to read our class novel, A Night Divided by Jennifer A. Nielsen. This supports our historical fiction unit. Ask your student what they’ve learned about the Berlin Wall so far.
Additionally, we’ll be working on MAP practice throughout the month.
Students should also be reading a book on their own outside of class. Typically, reading for 20 minutes nightly will enable them to complete one book each month. April books are due April 30.

This week in ELA students completed our unit on analyzing poetry. The theme was IDENTITY. Students are finishing up their own Identity poems which are due on Friday, 4/12.
We will be starting a new unit this week reading historical fiction. Periods 1, 7 will be reading a book titled A Long Walk to Water. Period 2,4, and 8 will be reading The Wednesday Wars. Students will have a packet to work on as we read. There will be some reading in class and some at home. Access to the books can be found in Actively Learn through Canvas and audio versions can also be found on my Canvas page.
Students have a new Vocabulary packet Unit 17 due Monday, 4/15 along with a quiz

During the next couple of weeks, we will do several different review and introductory lessons in preparation for MAP testing and setup our data / statistics unit. We always feel pretty confident with our preparedness for MAP mathematically but there are skills that we haven’t visited in several months now. In addition to taking a look at the MAP application on our Chromebooks, we will revisit some fraction / decimal / percent tasks.
And on the non-academic side, like I said in the last update, student emotions and energy are high so focusing on kindness, self-control, and positivity to get us through our “work” days is never a terrible thing.

The Plate Tectonics summative assessment has been graded and uploaded to SIS. Please take a look at your students' grades.
So far, students have investigated what evidence exists to support the theory of plate tectonics. With a good understanding of that evidence, we will now begin to investigate what happens when the tectonic plates interact with each other. We will then end the unit investigating the mechanism that causes the tectonic plates to move.
This week we also started our tasty tectonics lab. This lab helps to model the second question related to what happens at plate boundaries. Be sure to ask your student about playing with food in science class!

During this week, we will be making our Great Depression Supervillains. They will be due on Wednesday. We will also be doing a simulation so students can see what people experienced during the Great Depression.
April 22-26
This week we will be learning about Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal programs. Students will work through a couple different activities including making a New Deal Superhero. As of right now, we are planning on our Great Depression assessment on Friday, April 26th.
Homework
Homework in social studies depends on a couple different things.
1. Whether students finish class work.
2. Whether students are understand the information learned in class.
3. How students are doing on their map quizzes. I feel it's important for students to know where the states and countries are. They will be taking a weekly quiz on a specific area. If they pass with an 80% or higher they will move on to the next quiz. If they don't pass, they will have homework and will try again on Friday. We took our first quiz this last Wednesday.
