Social Studies
Students recently concluded their unit on Bronze Age technology and have transitioned to our next unit on Classical Empires and World Religions.
With the school year hitting the home stretch it's important to finish strong. Encourage your student to check their grades on PowerSchool regularly, and to access Edmodo for updates and alerts.
Please contact Mr. Hawkins directly if there are questions or concerns. He can be reached at 547-8170, or at bhawkins@rayder.net
Math
This week students will continue to work on 2 dimensional geometry skills. Students will work with understanding special pairs of angles on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday, students will work with perimeter and circumference. On Friday, students will take a formative assessment and will begin working with the concept of area.
Advanced Math
This week, students will work with understanding functions. Students will learn about linear and non-linear functions. They will also learn how to interpret with functions, and analyze graphs. Students will take a formative assessment over these concepts at the end of the week.
Band
Due to the many changes in the spring sports schedule and the large number of athletes in our band program, we have selected Thursday, May 21, 2015 at 7:00 P.M. for our final spring concert. I will ask the students to dress in their finest spring wear and we will have a Festival of music that will be a treat for all in attendance!
Musically yours,
