Good Evening Parents! We have several important updates this week. Please remember the following:
* This is our last week of 3rd quarter. All missing and corrected work needs to be turned in no later than Thursday to receive credit for this quarter. Please check with Aspen for grades and your child's teacher with specific questions.
* This is 4 DAY WEEK!! That means, we are out of school on Friday! Spring Break is always a great way to rest up for the the last quarter of the school year. The end will be here before we know it.
Math: In all math classes we are starting Module 6 lesson 1-3 this week. This is our new decimal unit. We have heard from several parents that the resource page and videos are very helpful. Please check this out if you feel your child is struggling or you just need a refresher! There is morning work this week as well as homework on several nights.
Reading: Derry- We will finish the Mythology unit this week. There have been several assignments related to this unit. The JT foldable was due last week. We had a great number of students who did not turn this in! Please check with your child as this counts as a major grade. The JT project is due this week. This has been an in-class project and students have had three weeks to work on it. We will begin a new novel study when we return from Spring Break.
ELA/Writing- This week's focus is adverbs. In writing we are analyzing student samples to help improve understanding of the grading process as well as to improve personal writing. Students will be able to write/improve a piece of their own writing in the weeks to come. There will be a state writing assessment this year. Dates will be posted when available.
Social Studies: Derry- we will continue with TN history and the Jackson Purchase. We are still working through our week 23 in Social Studies weekly.
Science- McCoy and Fortson will begin the motion unit this week. This is our last major mini unit before we begin review. Fortson will have the magnet and electricity test on Tuesday. A study guide was provided.
