Please check SIS for students' grades.

Students should be reading at home daily.

Science - Students are wrapping up our first unit of study about space. They worked on an engineering design process project to solve a problem that astronauts would encounter during a trip to Mars. After creating a model of their solution students participated in a Shark Tank style sales pitch to sell their device to the class as the best problem solver.

ELA - We finished typing our last chapters of our companion book and used strategies to write a strong conclusion. Before turning in their paper, we spent days editing and revisions. We looked closely at spelling and capitalization, sentence structure when using text evidence, and paragraphing.

The students took their November Reading Goals summative and started reading for their December Reading Goals.

Social Studies - We have spent our recent time together learning about the events of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and the Korean War. In the coming weeks, we will be completing a summative research project in which students will answer four essential questions about the decade.

Math - This week in math we are working on mastering two-step equations and introducing solving and writing inequalities. Next week students will work on mastering inequalities and working on studying for our next summative. This summative will happen before winter break and will cover writing and solving two step equations and inequalities.
