What Will We Be Learning This Week?
Math
We have started Unit 7 in Math Expressions, which focuses on multiplication and division.
Here is a video to help struggling students:
Language Arts
There will not be any WTW spelling this week due to the short week.
Social Studies
Although there will not be a USA Studies Weekly this week (due to the short week), we will continue to learn about the causes of the Civil War.
Any missing USA Studies Weekly assignments must be turned in by Thursday, 4/2. Otherwise they will receive a 0%. Please see me if you have any questions.
Science
We have finished our Energy Unit, and we will have the unit test on Thursday. Students should be studying for this daily.
Here is the link to the unit study guide for your reference:
Energy: Conservation and Transfer Study Guide
We will start our unit on weather this week to get a head start before break. This is a lengthy unit, we should be finishing in mid-May.
