Good evening! I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable three day weekend! It is down to the final stretch here at school, and as such, this will be my FINAL blog post update for this school year! As always please continue to check with your student and on Q to see if they have any missing work. As a reminder, students can do corrections on any assignment, which is a great way to earn some extra credit and boost their grade! Please also continue to check in with your student about their chromebook, Classcraft, and if they have gotten any behavior referrals that need to be signed (or detentions to be served). Detentions MUST be served in order to attend upcoming fun days! Please check out the important dates at the bottom of the post for details about our Classcraft field trip, end of year schedule changes, and returning chromebooks.
In other news... In math this week, we are doing some content review by working on some mysteries! Last week, students started a Carnival mystery, where they had to solve the math problems to determine who stole something from the carnival, what they stole, and where it was stolen from. This week, we are either finishing that activity or working on a mathematical murder mystery! Students have been working very hard to earn some last minute participation points for math class. The only homework this week is to finish any late work. All late work must be turned in by the end of the school day on Friday. In social studies, we are finishing our focus on Rome with the lesson The Legacy of Rome in the Modern World, looking at how ancient Rome influences our lives today. We will be finishing the rest of the notes this week for this lesson (TCI Lesson 38). The notes will be their final social studies grades. In spelling, we are finishing our last tic tac toe boards! Boards will be due on Friday, May 31 and tests will take place that day as well. Students will have one more class period to work, so some may need to work at home to finish up! This board and test will be the final spelling grades for the year. Upcoming dates:

Your student will have a homework assignment on Monday (finish our Barbie Bungee graph on Google classroom, finish data collection), Tuesday (3.1.6 Review Preview), and Thursday (finish and turn in the science expo table and graph on Google classroom). Student science expo data tables and graphs are due this Friday and we will be taking class time to work on graphing their data results, so please check with your student to make sure that they have finished their data on time, so that they are able to work on their graph in class. We will be spending class time Wednesday, so all data collection must be finished to work on the table and graph in class. In social studies, students are finishing their civilization matrix projects this week. For my homeroom, the rough draft and final typed copy are due on Friday. In spelling, we will be taking a short break during class this week due to Erin's Law presentations, but are continuing the same list as last week. Tic tac toe boards and spelling tests will not be due until April 24th. If your student did not turn in their last tic tac toe boards in yet, please have them do so as soon as possible.

I hope everyone had a great and restful spring break! We are well on our way with Quarter 4, and most classes have at least four grades now. Please check with your student and on Q to see if they have any missing work, as missing assignments early in the quarter have a huge impact on their grade. Students can also do corrections on any assignment, which is a great way to earn some extra credit and boost their grade! As a reminder, we also offer ASHH (after school homework help) most Tuesdays and Thursdays after school until 4:00, which any student can stay for to get extra help on homework or just have a quiet place to work on homework!
Also as a reminder, please continue to check in with your student about their chromebook, homework/absent work, Classcraft, and if they have gotten any behavior referrals that need to be signed (or detentions to be served). In math this week, we are continuing to work on connecting decimals, fractions, and percents with CPM lesson 3.1.4 and 3.1.5. Your student will have a homework assignment on Tuesday (3.1.4 Review Preview) and Thursday (3.1.5 Review Preview). If we have extra class time this week, we will continue to work on the practice graph with sample science expo data that we started before break. Student science expo data is due this Friday, and we will be taking class time next week to work on graphing their data results, so please check with your student to make sure that they have finished their data on time, so that they are able to work on their graph in class. In social studies, students are finishing their create projects this week. We will be presenting their projects in class, as well as working on a comparison chart for the three main civilizations we have studied so far this year. In spelling, we will be starting a new list this week. Tic tac toe boards and lists will be coming out to students this week, but will not be due for a few weeks due to some scheduling changes we will have during spelling time next week. If your student did not turn in their last tic tac toe boards in yet, please have them do so as soon as possible. Upcoming dates:
Somehow we are already in Quarter 4! Report cards will be sent home with your student on Friday, and we will also be having the PBIS incentive for good behavior and the school store on Friday. As a reminder, we introduced a new Classcraft challenge last week, so students should be working hard to earn that XP!
Also as a reminder, please continue to check in with your student about their chromebook, homework/absent work, Classcraft, and if they have gotten any behavior referrals that need to be signed (or detentions to be served). In math this week, we are working on connecting decimals, fractions, and percents with CPM lesson 3.1.3. This is a longer lesson than normal, so it will take us most of the week. Your student will have a homework assignment on Tuesday (3.1.3 Review Preview Part 1) and Thursday (3.1.3 Review Preview Part 2). If we have extra class time this week, we will work on a practice graph with sample science expo data, so students can see what kind of data they will need from their own project in order to create their graph. We will take one class period a couple weeks after break to work on their own data and graphs. If you student has not started their experiment yet, we are encouraging them to work on the experiment over break so that they have data for us to use in class. In social studies, students were introduced to the create projects last week, which they will be working on both at home and at school. Their rough draft of the project is due this week and the final draft will be due Tuesday, April 2 (the second day back from spring break). In spelling, we are finishing our current lists this week. Tic tac toe boards were due Friday, but we did not get our tests taken yet. The tests will now take place on the following days: today (Tuesday) will be the purple group, Wednesday will be the green group, and Thursday will be the gold group. If your student has not turned their tic tac toe boards in yet, please have them do so as soon as possible. Upcoming dates:
