Have a great weekend,
Your Cougar Team
Language Arts/Social Studies
This week in ELA:
Our class novel, "City of Orphans" is getting very exciting. Be sure to ask your students about it. Next week we will continue to dig deeper into the content.
Our objective for the next week is:
RI. 6.6 Determine an author’s point of view or purpose in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text.
Students will be getting a new Blendspace next week as well as root word worksheet. The root word worksheet is due on Friday.
*Due date for Book Report and Physical Project: March 18th.
Students should be finishing their novels in the next few weeks so that they can devote the rest of their time to the paper and project.
**Students need to bring their book report novels to school with them everyday. Students have opportunities to read during the day and they should have their novel with them for those times.
Math
MATH
Students applied properties of operation to generate equivalent expressions. They practiced simplifying expressions and combining like terms. Moving forward, students will use algebraic expressions to analyze and solve problems as well as finding solutions for inequalities.
