Science
We have wrapped up our first learning goal, covering objects in the solar system. Students took a quiz yesterday on this content.
We are now starting our second learning goal, which covers gravity’s role in the universe. We will discuss how gravity affects the shapes of planets, solar systems, and galaxies. It also partially causes the orbit of planets and determines weight. Students will have a summative over our first two learning goals the week of Oct. 9

ELA
We are finishing up the novel Refugee.
Students should complete the book by next week, Friday, October 6th. This week, we focused on minor characters and how their dialogue and actions can reveal their motivations and show their character traits.
Next week, we will study how understanding small moments and epiphanies lead readers to see changes in characters.
