SOARing Students
Mallory Munro is always very helpful and hardworking.
Adrianna Monear missed two days of school and worked hard to get caught up with her homework on the first day back.
Sydney Wyzga has also been very helpful in class and is always a good role model.
Keep up the good work!
Math
The 6th graders have continued to work with a variety of graphs to show information from data sets. We learned about box-and-whiskers plots this week in addition to reviewing line graphs and bar graphs. We have also continued working with landmark numbers such as mean, median, and mode.
Reading
Social Studies
In sixth grade social studies this week, we have been learning about the five fundamental themes of geography: location, place, region, movement, and human-environment interaction. Students have a project to show how those themes fit with a particular location. Their project is due on Monday for students in group A and on Tuesday for students in group B.
In fifth grade social studies we wrapped up our quick review of why we have government and laws. Each class created a class constitution with learners' rights and responsibilities. We will be starting to study the Native American peoples next week.
Science
5th grade- This week we have started our unit on Ecosystems. We have talked the about the differences between carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores. The students have learned how to look at an animals teeth, eye position, and paws to identify the type.
6th grade- This week we have started our unit on Weather and Climate. The students learned the difference between weather and climate.
Writing
This week in writing we worked on parts of speech. We reviewed nouns, pronouns, proper nouns, plural nouns, and singular nouns. On Thursday we started reviewing contractions. Students are now expected to use these correctly when writing sentences. Next week we will start writing more complex sentences and work on more parts of speech.
