Math
This
week we learned how
to solve one step equations! Students learned the properties of equality
and continued to apply their skills with rational numbers. Next week we
will start wrestling with 2 and 3 step equations.
You
are also getting a packet home
to review with your student from the last unit. Please send it back with
a parent signature. I will include it with the next report card as a
reminder of where the grades from that trimester came from!
Science
We started FLASH this week and students have been very respectful of the subject. We have started with Family and talked about all the different types of families there are. We focused on the purpose of families and all three classes have been very thoughtful about the emotional and physical needs that families provide for each other.
I have also told students that they need to participate in the Science Fair in February but have let them know that they will be given Fridays in class to work on them. There are very few parameters for the projects and students are free to come up with original ideas as long as they bring something to work on during class time.
