After TCAP, we will start Greece and Rome.
Parents, I am asking for your help with the non-fiction reading assessments. This assignment is given on Mondays and the expectation is that it is completed by the end of the school day on Friday. Despite this being the end of the 3rd quarter, some students are still struggling to complete the assignment. In my efforts to support students in the area of non-fiction reading, it is difficult to see growth when this assignment is not completed. Thanks for your support.

Math
Both classes have finished up their geometry units with some very impressive projects. Students that did not meet all the requirements of the project may have had a significant change in their grade, so please check infinite campus.
Algebra 1A: Students will be returning to their work with the algebra standards by exploring multiplying binomials, trinomials, and polynomials. Students will also be solving equations that include polynomials and solving multi-variable equations for one variable. This work is important to their success the rest of fourth quarter which will focus heavily on different forms of linear equations and systems of equations. Students will have a test on March 19th over multiplying polynomials and solving equations. If you are leaving early for spring break this test needs to be taken BEFORE spring break.
Pre-Algebra 7: Students have begun their next unit on data, percents, and probability. Students will be focusing on finding the probability of multi-event situations and creating data from experimental probability situations. This unit will take us through spring break with a test on March 19th. If you are leaving early for spring break this test needs to be taken BEFORE spring break.
