What Our Lions Are Learning
In 7th grade, our Lions are studying about the skeletal system in Science, expressions and equations in Math, talking about the Space Race in Social Studies, and working on projects in their mystery unit in ELA.
In 8th grade, our Lions are learning about propaganda of WWII in Social Studies, working on plot structures their science fiction unit in ELA, studying nutrition in Science, and working with geometry in Math.
See if your Lion can tell you about the activities they've done to master their standards!
Engage with ELA at Home!
Math Moments
Another skill all students need to practice is mathematical operations with fractions. It's easy to forget how to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions and mixed numbers! Review these processes with your student using the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl7e0djo9Go
Then see how fast you can solve the problems below. Race your student! Who won?
