Math News


This week, we will continue our study of Unit 3. Students are investigating equations, expressions, inequalities. We will review using variables and solving one step equations before moving onto new, more difficult content such as the distributive property. 

All grades will be updated by Wednesday. Please check Parent Portal at some point this week.

Student homework for this week is to complete 2 hours of Waggle time. Some students continue to keep up with their Waggle time, while others are falling behind and their average is suffering. Please have a conversation with your student about how much time they are dedicating to this valuable resource.

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

Go Panthers! 




Social Studies News


This week we will be continuing Unit 4 Asia Geography.  This is our first Asia unit and students will be using the blended learning model.  With this model the unit assignments are uniquely tailored to each student but it also puts more emphasis on the students being self-directed.  With that said if students want to be successful during this unit they must complete the work on their tickets and pace themselves accordingly.  On Thursday we will be taking the Asia political map quiz which is linked below. Also if your child is participating in Social Studies Fair the project due date is fast approaching om December 9th.  It is very important that students are using their ELT time as well as time at home working on their project.  The Middle East and Asia coach books in the ABOUT section of google classroom can be a helpful study resource.  Thank you for your support!
