WHAT WE ARE LEARNING

LA: MRS SCHMITT

This week students will shift their focus to the essential questions: 

❏ How does the text structure in a fiction piece of literature help me understand the text?

 Students will be focusing on the following skills: 

❑ Differentiate between poems, drama, and prose.

❑ Refer to the structural elements of poems, prose, and drama when writing or speaking.

❑ Analyze how a sentence, chapter, scene, or stanza fits into the overall structure of a text.

MATH: MRS. BENNETT

This week in Math class, students are writing Math MAP goals for Spring testing. Students will create a data table to help them compare their Fall scores to their Winter scores in the four math categories- Algebraic Thinking, Numbers and Operations, Measurement/Data, and Geometry. Using this data we will write goals for our category of strength and our category for growth. We will also prepare for our chapter test by completing a study guide and reviewing. 

*We will also prepare for a Chapter Test. We will complete a study guide in class and review prior to test day. We will take the test Thursday 3/2. (previously scheduled for Tuesday 2/28, but decided to push it back).

SOCIAL STUDIES: MRS. CRUSH

In Math Workshop, we are continuing our project, "Using a Scale to Create a Map," focusing on the West and Southwest Regions. There are a few students who have states from the Midwest Region. Each student was assigned a different states and they will be creating a map with a title, cities, geographical features, compass rose, scale, and bodies of water. Using their scale, they will create multiple step math problems.  In Social Studies, we will focus on the Southwest Region and students will be doing a mini Landmark Project. 

We will continue our Research Project on Kentucky Counties. Each student will be assigned a cluster of counties. They will focus on places, government, people, and events in their cluster. Students will be working on this research project in both Social Studies and Technology for the next several weekends.  Mrs. Crush has divided the students into small groups to do check-ins and answer any questions. She will see 1-3 groups each class period.

We will complete Ch. 8, "Witnesses to God's Kingdom. The students will be able to discuss experiences of unfairness, explore how worldly justice and God's justice differ, realize that we are called to live holy lives, and to identify ways we experience the Kingdom of God at Mass.  We will begin our lesson on Lent and get started on Saints March Madness!
