Weekly Update

What's Happening This Week:

We have entered the FINAL COUNTDOWN!! It definitely doesn't feel like Christmas outside even though the calendar says December 15th! I hope you are able to enjoy the beautiful weather!

Very Important Dates:

12/19 Intermediate Breakfast is a GO! *See separate post for info - We need parent help for setup/cleanup Friday! Please sign up if you are able!!

12/19 *ALL WORK MUST BE TURNED IN BY 3:30p.m. OR IT WILL BE COUNTED AS *ZEROS* which can be detrimental to their grades.

This week:

We will continue to work through Chapter 5 - Multiplying Decimals. We will take a quiz Thursday and then wrap up after break. There is just a bit too much to this to finish this week.

Students are struggling a bit with the idea of multiplying by a decimal/decimal fraction results in a smaller "piece of the pie" so we will continue to work through this concept.

We will wrap up Renaissance content tomorrow and take the Content Assessment as well as the unit Grammar/Morphology Assessment on Wednesday/Thursday this week.

I am requesting that parents help their student with their reading and reading comprehension. They are rushing trying to avoid homework and they aren't grasping content. It is imperative that they read the content multiple times prior to the unit assessment.

We have wrapped up our history units for this semester! I am hoping to work on a couple fun science experiments this week!

We are using Riggs time to work on various grammar concepts as well as our special projects. New lists will start back up after break.

New lists are current content based across subjects. Lists will only have 3 words. Students will be required to write each word with markings 4 times each, look up each word in the dictionary (writing down part of speech, page number and proper definition), and writing a sentence using each word correctly. Students struggled again this week with remembering what they are required to do. Please make sure your students remember what they need to do with Riggs assignments to get full credit.

New lists are posted to Parent Square.

Students will wrap up their special projects this week. I look forward to sharing them with you on Friday!
