Open House: Thursday, March 8th 2018

If you are planning on coming to open house, we want to offer you the opportunity to have a flipped experience. We will have a Schoology course set up for parents to access that evening. Even if you are not planning on attending Open House, you can still use the link to have access to your child's account. It will show you some of the work they have been doing in class this year. It is also important to be able to have parent access for 6th grade, as they use Schoology at the middle schools as well.

If you are not connected to your child's Schoology account you can click on the link below to get access.

Curriculum and Instruction

In math this week we started our Geometry Unit. We looked at the hierarchy of quadrilaterals as well as the different types of triangles. The students spent some time sorting and classifying the different shapes based on their attributes.

In science, we finished our unit of study on Earth's Changing Surface. We will begin investigating alternative energy and how it impacts the earth.

In language arts, we started the week reviewing context clues. Learners defined the word foreshadowing using the parts of the word as hints to its meaning. Then, learners watched various clips to foreshadow the endings. Moreover, we explored various similes using our mentor sentence.

In social studies, we started talking about Westward Expansion and the Louisiana Purchase. We explored who Lewis and Clark were and participated in a Google Expedition.
