English and Language Arts with Mr. Winston
Next week, we’re continuing our Second Unit, “The Recipe for Success,” by exploring texts that show how resilience, deliberate practice, and caring for others help people achieve their goals. These readings will guide students as they answer our essential question: What does it take to achieve success?
As always, please encourage your scholar to read for at least 20 minutes each night. All students should have a book they are independently reading outside of class.
Math with Mx. Gomez
6th Grade Accelerated Math
Next week in Math 6, we’ll focus on percent and proportional reasoning. Students will learn how to use the proportional method to find the part, the whole, and the percentage, then apply these skills to real-world situations like discounts and original prices. We’ll wrap up with a percent practice day and review stations to reinforce understanding and prepare for upcoming assessments.
7th Grade Math
Next week in Math 7, we’ll finish Unit 1 and transition into Unit 3. Monday covers Lesson 10, and Tuesday is our Summative Assessment for Unit 1. After that, we’ll kick off Unit 3 with Lessons 1–4, introducing new concepts and building a strong foundation for the next unit.
Please encourage your child to stay on top of their assignments and reach out if they need support.
World Geography and Cultures with Ms. Wesselhoft
Your students did presentations about how some people, events, or items represent the African Diaspora here in the United States. They did a great job! Be on the lookout - I will try to share the presentations with you.
Next week we start Unit 3: Middle East and North Africa. Students will map the region, learn new physical features vocabulary that apply to the region, and identify some physical and human features. Students will end the week reviewing for a Middle East and North Africa quiz on Monday, November 24th. If you plan to leave town early, your child will need to take the quiz on Friday, November 21st.
Coming home – a permission slip to sign and return for the Geography Three Religions field trip.
Earth and Space Science with Ms. Sagan
Hello Scientists!
Another short week done! Next week we will be completing our Rock Transformation unit. We will start the week with our Mount Play Doh topography assignment before we spend a few days on topographic maps and contour lines. This includes a lab in which students use play dough to illustrate how topographic maps take 3D shapes and represent them on paper.
Students will complete their Amplify End of Unit assessment and then conclude the week with their Rock Transformation Summative assessment on Friday.
