Here's The Happenings:

Science:  We have entered the world of cells with exploring the various organelles.  The organelle names are odd sounding and unusual.  We tied each organelle to a city object, with the metaphor of all organelles working together to make the cell function.  Ask your child what organelles plant cells have that animal cells do not! 🙂

Homework Due 2/18: Cells Worksheet

Math: Chapter 5 -Multiplying & Dividing Rational Numbers

We have been working hard with using our integer rules for multiplying and dividing, as well as converting decimals and fractions. This coming week, the students will get a new experience as Mr. Hopp comes in to teach a lesson on writing expressions early in the week and then we will finish with our review and test on Friday the 20th.

Social Studies: Students will be learning about The Revolution in Latin America. We will learn about Toussaint L’Overture and Haiti. We will also learn about the history of Mexico, and their leaders Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata.

English: 6th grade started reading The Odyssey this week. Talk with your student about what they read in the first two stories. Asking them questions over the weekend will help them recall the information during the week.

Parents, please be on the lookout for information about the 6th grade Spring Auction Basket. This year’s theme is Dr. Seuss’s Sleep Book.

Writing & Research: In Writing and Research this week, middle school students continued working on commonly confused words. They will be finishing this unit next week. Starting in March, we will begin a poetry unit.
