Week of August 31

Parents are wonderful! 

Thanks so much to Mrs, Snyder for donating cookies for the 1st block science class to model plant and animal cells!!

The classwork scheduled for this week is:

Math
Classwork: We will continue working on our whole number unit. Students  have a packet filed in their math folder.  We are working on dividing multi-digit numbers. It is very difficult for the students who do not know their math facts to complete these problems. SUMMATIVE TEST will hopefully be next week. Please help your child review the packet skills.

Homework: Please make sure that your child is fluent with their multiplication and division facts through the 12s. If you need flash cards, they are available at the Dollar Stores, Walmart, and Target. Some of the websites located on this blog will also allow you to print flash cards at home. When you see the cc written in your child's agenda, it means they should finish the page we were working on during class. If they do not have a page with unanswered problems, they have probably finished what they needed to.  In my 1st block class, students should be going onto the Renaissance Learning Website to complete  8 problems each night. Students in my 2nd Block class have a printed handout of their work. All student should scan on the 4th school day after receiving an assignment. Students should easily be able to complete their homework in 20 minutes.

Science
Classwork: We are working on the Cells and Microorganism unit. Students  have a packet filed in their science section of their toolkit. We are learning about microorganisms this week. SUMMATIVE TEST will hopefully be next week. Please have your student studying from completed packet pages every night.

Homework: Please have your child set aside approximately 10 minutes each night to review/study the materials covered in class. They need to begin developing good study habits.  The Cells Quizlet on the right hand side of the blog is a good way to practice also.

Social Studies
Classwork: We will  begin the Civil War Unit this week. We will begin with Chapter 1 Lesson 1 in the textbook and will receive a student packet.

Homework: Please have your child set aside approximately 10 minutes each night to review/study the materials covered in class. They need to begin developing good study habits.
