Curriculum Updates:
Math
We will be wrapping up our unit over coordinate planes this week, and are planning for the learners to take their test this Friday, March 7th. The leaners are able identify the origin of a coordinate plane, and the x and y axis, along with how to graph an ordered pair (with positive numbers only) on the coordinate plane. They will also be able to generate a numerical pattern when given a rule in the form y= ax or y= x+a, and will be able to determine if a graph is displaying a multiplicative pattern (ordered pairs that follow the rule y= ax), or an additive pattern (ordered pairs that follow the rule y=x + a).

Learners are continuing to learn about Facing Slavery and the Civil War through Unit 5. We will continue working through an interactive hyperdoc, and an article with questions.
