Tiger Teacher Topics of the Week
Mrs. Jester's Math
Mrs. Jester's 6th grade Pre-AP Pre-Algebra students will be solving percent problems using the percent proportion and the percent equation. We will end the week by applying this knowledge to sales tax and discount problems.
Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Turnbow's Math
Mrs. Reynolds' Spanish
We will be focusing on subject pronouns this week and will finally be learning our very first verbs. Students will also add to the personal questions that they can ask and answer. Be ready to hear some Spanish next week at home!
Ms. Jasper's Science
We will be building our own circuits, and will start building our flashlights.
Please have your child bring a toilet paper roll and a D battery if possible by Tuesday!!
You can download the ConnectEd app on your child's phone or tablet, and use their username and login I sent you to let them readily have access to videos and activities that go with our book if you want.
If you have old Christmas lights you do not want, please send them our way.
Ms. Clark's Science
"Ms. Clark's science classes took an electricity break the last few days of last week to investigate the Law of Conservation of Mass in our Gummy Bear Lab. This week, we will be back on track with electricity. Be on the lookout for a short 15-20 question test over electricity on November 8th or 9th. A 10-15 question magnetism test will follow near our Thanksgiving Break, so if you all have plans to leave early or come back late from the break, you might want to stay tuned as we get closer to the break. I am happy to work with you to find a good time to administer the test. "
Current Clark/Jasper Classroom Needs:
1-2 packages of balloons
2-3 rolls of masking tape, and I know this sounds odd but.... we anticipate the need for a couple of strings of older holiday lights ...we will be cutting out sections and won't be able to return them....lighter colored bulbs work better, as darker ones won't do as well in our 'flashlights' we'll be making.
Thank you as always for thinking of us!"
Mr. Janzen and Mrs. Anderson's Social Studies
Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Frank's English
Our summative test took longer than we expected, so we will be reading non-fiction articles this week offering differing points of view on the topic of owning exotic animals. This nine weeks the theme of all that we do is Making Your Voice Heard.
Mrs. Edwards' Literacy
