6th Grade-Area and Surface Area
In this unit, students learn to find areas of polygons by decomposing, rearranging, and composing shapes. They learn to understand and use the terms “base” and “height,” and find areas of parallelograms and triangles. Students approximate areas of non-polygonal regions by polygonal regions. They represent polyhedra with nets and find their surface areas.
7th Grade-Introducing Proportional Relationships
8th Grade- Functions and their Representations
We are excited to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with our annual Latinx Heritage Festival! This exciting lunch event will feature performances by Dr. Drum and BombaYo and Bomba lessons for interested students. In addition to the regular school lunch, we will have empanadas, bocadillos, and more! We are also looking for donations of chips, juice, and water. Please email Edda, our parent coordinator, if you are interested in donating.
On Thursday, students are invited to dress in clothes and colors which represent their cultural background. We love to celebrate the wide array of cultures that our school community comes from!
October Meeting Summary
At our October Meeting we discussed different ways to support our school community and other parents through social groups and volunteer opportunities. We are currently looking for volunteers for our family laundry room, our Title I committee, and for running our lunchtime snack sale table. If you are interested in helping or learning more about any of those opportunities, please email our parent coordinator.
Halloween Dance Donations
We are looking forward to supporting the Halloween Dance on October 25 from 3-5pm. Snacks and drinks, especially small bottles of water, are our biggest need. Please email our parent coordinator Edda if you are interested in donating.
