Weekly Updates for January 23rd

Please check out what is happening this week:

Math- This week we will be working from Lesson 7 through 11.  There will be a checkpoint quiz this week over Topic B.  Several graded assignments have been returned to your student directly or in the blue weekly folder.  It is important that students review this work with you and make corrections on assignments that score below 85 (our recommendation).  Test/assignment corrections are done on a separate piece of paper and attached to the original work. Please remember to initial or sign the redo work so that we know you have seen it.  These corrections can often mean the difference in a letter grade! 

Science- We are working on our matter unit this week in all classes. Mrs. Fortson's class will have a test over this unit on Wednesday.  Please check your child's agenda nightly for weekly assignments and due dates. 

Social Studies- We are still working on the American Revolution. This is a large unit with a great amount of content.  Mrs. Derry's class will have a test on Tuesday over the Important People and the battles of the Revolution.  They have been given vocabulary, important people and battle study guide. They will be able to use their interactive notebook on this test.  

ELA/Writing-The focus this week is pronouns.  Students will be drafting their informational piece.  

Please check in with your child to make sure that all work has been turned in!
