U.S. History
As we hurdle towards the ends of the school year, students in U.S. History will be preparing for and completing their final project. This final project had 2 options for students, they can either choose to complete a ceiling tile or a wax museum on a famous U.S. historical person (more information on Schoology). This will be an 80% assignment worth 25 points.
After this week, students will have the option to complete some lessons over Kansas history and will have the final week of school to do any catch-up work.
Mathematics
For the first week of online learning, we will review squares, square roots, cubes, and cube roots. All learning for this class will be done on Schoology and i-Ready this week. If you have not had a chance to view the Introduction video on the math class Schoology page, I encourage you to do so. It explains the new format and offers guidance and answers about what to expect for the remainder of the school year.
This week's online lessons:
Monday--Perfect squares and square roots
Tuesday--Estimating irrational square roots
Wednesday--Square roots and cube roots i-Ready lesson
Thursday--Solving equations with exponents
