Spanish- Mr. Parsons
This week in class, students are diving deeper into their language learning. We’ve been reviewing how to conjugate verbs in both the present and past tenses—a skill that helps them express themselves more clearly. Students are also learning new vocabulary, which they’ll bring to life by working together to create fun, original conversations. This not only makes learning more interactive, but also helps the new words “stick.” In addition, we’re taking some time to review articles and pronouns, making sure students feel confident using these essential pieces of the language.
English- Ms. Hoffmann
In 10th grade English we have been reading short excerpts from Annie Dillard, Jeannette Walls, and E.B. White that focus on how the experiences of our childhood shape us. Students have been reflecting on their own childhood memories through original poetry, and now this week they are drafting their first literary analysis essay in response to one of the readings. They are also immersed in their first independent book so you should see them reading at home!
Math- Ms. Burke
Algebra 1:
Students have started the year learning how to simplify numerical and variable expressions. We are moving on to solving equations this week!
Geometry:
Geometry students have learned the basics of geometry, including notation, vocabulary, and how to measure segments and angles. This week we are continuing our studies with parallel lines and angle pairs.
