Science -  Mrs. Sloan    Ms. Johnston       Ecosystem Dynamics Agenda

We have begun our unit on Ecosystem Dynamics. 

ELA- Mrs. Crouch 

*January: We finished our unit on the Space Race - this covered development of strong background knowledge - and how that shapes understanding of what we read -- as well as covering strong research skills. We continued into a third unit that applied research skills where we wrote our own mini-research papers over the topic of teens and social media usage using MLA formatting. The kids did an incredible job. Final published essays are due Friday 1/30/26. 

* February: We will begin our 4th unit centered around the graphic novel Frankenstein. Because the text is extremely complex, we will focus on paraphrasing 19th-century English. As we read, we will analyze irony, perspective, character development, theme, conflict, and cause-and-effect relationships, while also using both the text and visuals to make inferences and support our ideas with evidence. 

NEW BOOK PROJECTS have also been introduced! Due WEDNESDAY 2/25!
