Math- We are still working on the coordinate plane. We will be taking our CDA test on 3D Figures and on the coordinate plane this week. Weekly reviews are back, so make sure to ask you child about it!
Here is a great resource to use for word problems for all topics we have discussed.
Failing grades can be done over for partial credit.
Science- We have spent the last 2 days (Thursday & Friday) building our stomp rockets in science and watching Hidden Figures in Mr. Wooden's class. This Monday we will be taking our rockets outside and launch them. Be on the lookout for pictures on Class Dojo. We will begin reviewing a lot of the material that we have already covered this year, so if your students say we've already done this, you will understand why. There are a lot of new additions to our Symbaloo page and videos that you can view to help you understand better what we are doing in this unit. Your child should know how to log into this.
All students need to have their Unit 7 CDA input into Engrade no later than Tuesday. Students may come into class from 7:15-7:45 to complete this.
