Schoology: This is the go-to place to track assignments. Look for priority assignments and check the overdue section of each class. That is where you will find the most up to date information on your students' progress.
Instrumental Music: Instrument music starts next week. Instrumental students will miss some in person instruction and it will up to each student to check in with us during Async time to make sure they don’t miss anything.
Math: We took our first graded assessment this week. Have your student login to EasyBridge and show you how they did on the Topic 1 Mid-Topic Assessment. This will show you how well they add and subtract rational numbers. Next week, I will be pulling small groups during Async time to help students who have struggled with these concepts.
Reading: This week we read a tough story called There Will Come Soft Rains. We worked vocabulary and analyzed the story for character and conflict. Students debated whether or not a Smart Home can be the protagonist of a story. Lastly, we co-created a brief summary of the story.
Writing: Students worked on typing up and submitting a 250-1,500 word story this week. In preparation of our science-fiction/fantasy short story unit, students are sharing writing with me. I’ll be using their samples of writing to guide lessons and give individual feedback about what each student writer can work on.
Science: We looked this week at how the rotation of the Earth causes days and nights and are moving into looking at the orbit of the Earth around the sun is the reason for the seasons. Students are also formalizing their understanding of the mysterious artifact. We are about halfway to figuring out what is on the missing piece.
Blog: Check out the blog for weekly updates of what was covered in each class. It also includes lots of helpful information and links about school, including tech tips and tech resources for families. The link to that is here! This is student centered and, so far, they have done a great job supplying content for the blog.
