Math News
This week in math, we will be reviewing A LOT. On Thursday, students will take the Math Benchmark. On Monday, students will be given access to a Unit 1 and Unit 2 Math Benchmark Study Guide. We will be completing this study guide during the week. Please make sure students are well rested and eat a good breakfast before Thursday morning.
In addition to the Math Benchmark on Thursday, students will also have a Unit 2 Math Test on Friday! A good portion of our Benchmark study guide will cover Unit 2 content. I am asking that students complete the entire Benchmark study guide by Thursday.
Due to the nature of our week and the multiple tests, I am not assigning any homework this week in math, apart from completing the Benchmark Study Guide.

Social Studies News
This week in social studies we will be finishing Unit 3 Middle East History. This was the first time most students have been exposed to these standards and content so it is very important they are completing all assignment and studying at home. On Friday students will take their second History vocabulary quiz. The words are linked below. Also if your child is participating in Social Studies Fair the project due date is fast approaching in early December. It is very important that students are using their ELT time as well as time at home working on their project. The Middle East coach book in the ABOUT section of google classroom can be a helpful study resource. Thank you for your support!

c. Describe how land and religion are reasons for continuing conflicts in the Middle East.
