Math- QUIZ TUESDAY
In math this week, students will continue to explore algebraic expressions. Monday will be a day of review, where we will go over powers, order of operations, and solving/writing expressions. This will lead us to a mid-chapter quiz on Tuesday. The quiz practice sheet from Monday will be a great source of review on Chapter 6, lessons 1-4 concepts, and should be in binders. For the rest of the week, students will be using the associative, commutative, and distributive properties to simplify more complex expressions. We are aiming to have our chapter 6 math test on Wednesday, 2/12. Science A quiz bright and early on Monday will get us started this week! Chapter 6, lesson 1 was a short lesson which focused on the three parts of cell theory, and the 4 macromolecules within cells. For the rest of the week we will start chapter 6, lesson 2. This is the most important lesson of the chapter, in which students will learn about all of the organelles within the cell. Students will be receiving information about a take home project this week and shouldn't waste any time getting started. Here is a link to the cell rap! English Language Arts, Reading and History Writing: Students will be finishing up their five paragraph argumentative/persuasive essays in Google classroom. Great job on forming opinions and developing arguments. Now, just some fine tuning for revising and editing! Reading: We continue with Massachusetts Book Award book groups and the novel "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". Students have been practicing figurative language and poetic devices and will demonstrate their understanding as we finish the poem "The Road Not Taken". Grammar: There will be a brief reminder of the 8 parts of speech followed by a survey for the different kinds of verbs there are. HistoryWe begin the study of Greece with designing an Illustrated Timeline of some of the important events of Ancient Greece. Typically, I have broken the larger project into shorter due dates but the overview of the entire assignment is to find the required dates from the textbook or internet by Thursday and write the dates out as a rough draft due Friday. The completed final copy on oak tag is due on Tuesday. I will have the assignment paper posted in the Google classroom. Comments are closed.
