This week, In Math, we finished up chapter 7 with the review and individual assessment, and then moved into chapter 8 which focuses on statistics and measures of central tendency. We talked about mean, median and range, as well as mean average deviation. Next week, we will continue chapter 8 by introducing how to read the shape of data and a new type of graph, box plots.
In ELA, we have finished our unit on The Lightning Thief with the presentations students made about their narrative choices and changes to the scene in the novel. They did a great job presenting and should be proud of the work they accomplished. Next week, we will fully dive into our final novel study of the year on Frightful's Mountain by Jean Craighead George. This unit is focused heavily on informational texts. Students will be asked to identify arguments and the support authors have for their opinions. The unit will culminate with a position paper asking students to take a stance on an environmental issue with both benefits and negative consequences.
In Science, we began Unit 5 which which focuses on  how organisms inherit traits from their parents. Our lesson this week focuses on how organisms are all adapted to their environments. We took a quiz on this topic today. Next week, we will work through lesson 3, which discusses how different types of reproduction affect genetic diversity.
Finally, In History, Students worked hard on their museum posters on Monday. However, they did not finish and were asked to complete them at home. Posters must be returned to school by March 11th! As mentioned above, students will be dressing up for the museum, please help them come up with an outfit for their character. We will be completing our final lessons of our Ancient Greece unit next week, and end with the Greek Museum on Thursday, followed by the assessment on Friday!

Greek Museum Information
We are so excited about the Greek Museum coming up next Thursday, March 12th! As a reminder, students need to dress up for this event, it does not need to be a fancy costume though, students can simply use a bedsheet or a blanket wrapped as a toga! Spend some time helping your student find a costume and practice their speech before this super fun event!

CAASPP is Coming! Every student needs a set of wired headphones or earbuds for CAASPP Testing. It was a supply item at the beginning of the year, but many students do not have them at school. We will begin running practice tests the week of March 23rd. Please ensure your student has a working set of wired headphones or earbuds before March 23rd.
