Shark Update of the week of October 5th
Language Arts: We worked with SEEDS last week, which is an acronym. Ask your scholar what it stands for. This week, we have held a funeral for the dead verbs and are using action verbs to rewrite strong verb sentences. Students need to memorize the list of dead & weak verbs. Morphemes #6 is Wednesday.
Core Math: Students finishing up the unit on Ch. 4 Decimals this week. There will be a quiz Friday. Next week we will begin fractions.
Pre-Algebra: Students are working on Ch. 4 Rational Numbers and Exponents. There will be a test Tuesday, Oct. 13th.
Science: This week we will begin the research phase of a writing project about air pollution. Also, students may retake their
Weather Test through Friday during lunch.
Social Studies- We are continuing our East Africa unit focusing on ethnic conflicts and the genocides in Darfur and Rwanda. A conversation topic would be about "Lost Boys" of Sudan. There will be an East Africa Test next week.
Have a great week!
