this Wednesday, March 23rd!
Math:
Students received the study guide for Unit 9 last Wednesday. This week, students will be learning how to multiply and divide decimals. On Wednesday, we will complete a review and the Written Assessment will be on Thursday. If your child will be out that day, they will need to take the test on Wed., March 23rd or stay after school on Wed., March 30th. The Open Response will be given on Wednesday, March 23rd in place of doing Social Studies. I would like for the entire unit to be completed before the Easter break so that we can begin Unit 10 when we return.
Writing:
Students have been introduced to the final topic of this writing unit: Should chocolate milk be served in schools?
We have read an article on either side of the argument. Students have not made a claim or picked a side yet. I asked them to reserve all judgement until we are further into our research.
Reading:
Our first Social Issues book club is coming to a close. At the beginning of the unit, some students chose to participate in a second book club. These will begin next week. Students will primarily meet during lunch to "chat and chew" about their book. These book clubs were optional and the students chose based on interest.
