English/Language Arts News
As we start the 2nd 9 weeks of the school year, ELA will continue studying the genre of Science Fiction. Due to our shortened week with the student holiday on Monday as well as Early Release for Parent-Teacher conferences Wednesday-Friday, students will focus their time in class on reading two short, but very intriguing Sci-Fi texts, and then they will respond to those texts through writing.
Students will also have the opportunity to purchase books at the Book Fair this week when we visit the Media Center for both Book Fair and check-outs on Thursday, Oct. 13th. Parents are welcome to also visit the Book Fair with their child to browse and/or purchase books on Wednesday afternoon/evening.
Please continue to check Parent Portal for updates on your child's progress, and encourage your child to turn in his/her work for all classes on time! I look forward to another exciting quarter of teaching your child!

Math News
This week in math, we will begin our study of unit rates, constants of proportionality, and graphing proportional relationships. We are a little over midway through Unit 2. Having said this, students will have a Check-Up quiz on Wednesday this week. We will spend Thursday reviewing important content covered in the first half of Unit 2. This review day will be tailored around students' success on the Wednesday Check-Up quiz.
All grades will be posted and updated by Wednesday. Please make sure to check Parent Portal to review your student's respective grade. Also, please remind your student to turn in any missing assignments.
Waggle Update: all students have access to an online resource called Waggle. Students should log-on and complete at least 2 hours of Waggle time each week. I will be monitoring this resource and will assign a homework grade to each student every week based on their Waggle time (2 full hours of Waggle = 100% as a homework grade).

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Social Studies News
This week in social studies we will be starting Unit 3 Middle East History. This is the first time most students have been exposed to this standards and content so it is very important they are completing all assignment and studying at home. On Friday students will take their first History vocabulary quiz. The words are linked below. Using the Middle East coach book and glossary in the ABOUT section of google classroom can be a helpful study resource. Thank you for your support!
SS7H2 - The student will analyze continuity and change in Southwest Asia (Middle East) leading to the 21st century.
