Grade Checks!
A grade check is coming home again today. The percent scores only represent a completion grade, not a standard grade. Assessments are not included in this. This percentage is used to determine work habit grades for homework and classwork. Please work through any incomplete assignments with your child over the weekend to ensure they understand concepts and material for upcoming assessments.

This week, In Math, we started Chapter 3 which focuses on Portions (like finding percentages, decimals, and fractions) and Integers (we will begin discussing negative numbers). Next week we will continue through these lessons on converting fractions to percentages and decimals and investigating ratios.
In ELA, after getting peer reviews on their partner essays, we took two days to write a problem-solution essay on the individual innovator that we researched, and then self-edited our essays. We then started talking about how we can share information like this in a symposium format. Next week, we will be working on creating visuals that go along with our essays and how we would present that information during our symposium, which will take place on Thursday. Finally on Friday, we will participate in a fishbowl conversation about how habits of character can help individuals to solve design problems. It would be helpful to have student practice at home by explaining how certain habits of character helped their innovator and how that could translate to other design solution situations.
In Science, we began the second unit of our science curriculum which focuses on Systems in Organisms and on Earth. This week our focus has been on systems and how scientists use models to investigate systems. We took a quiz today. Next week, we will continue lesson 2 of unit 2, which has a focus on how cells are living systems.
Finally, In History, we started our Egypt Unit! We have been learning about how the geography of Egypt helped specific civilizations to choose to settle there. Then we started learning about pharaohs and chose a pharaoh to research about. Next week, we will continue researching our pharaohs, create a book, and decorate a sarcophagus lid to emulate their pharaohs! I know they will be so excited to build them!
