Students will read a common book and come to meetings prepared to discuss what they've read. As always, students are expected to read their independent novel for 20 minutes each day!

Science

Students recent ly completed models of the Earth-moon-sun system to reflect the reasons for the lunar cycle, eclipses and seasons. This week we began our Natural Select ion Unit . In this unit we will observe traits of different populat ions and construct models and arguments for why traits of populat ions can change over t ime.

Algebra

In Algebra, we just finished Unit #5, which covered how to solve a system of linear inequalit ies. Students worked independently through this unit by complet ing slides and tasks.

Math 8

Math 8 will be looking at scatter plots and their types of associat ion. Students will be creat ing scatter plots and analyzing data. Students will conduct their own research on a topic and create a scatter plot based on the information that they collected.

Social Studies

We are finishing our 1920s unit this week. We will begin our unit on the Great Depression, looking at causes, impact, the Dust Bowl, the New Deal, and more!

Language Arts

Students will be working on all different types of argumentat ive writ ing, focusing on making claims, support ing with evidence and reasoning, addressing the counterclaim, and coming up with a rubuttal.
