We will be completing a 2-week exploration of life in Ancient Sumer. Students have worked through stations that help them understand the daily lives of those in the Sumer city-states. We will then take a look at The Code of Hammurabi, compare it to today's laws, and discuss if we think his laws were just. The unit will end with students getting to play the oldest board game in the world, The Royal Game of Ur. which dates back to 2600 B.C.E.

We are continuing to focus on main ideas this week. We are also reading a novel called Tiger Rising. Students are answering comprehension questions on the book as we go. We are using a website called Reading Plus this year. Students are given twenty minutes in four different classes to work on their reading skills each week. They are also given points in reading class for doing the program. If you notice your student has lower grades in Reading Plus, please encourage him or her to work on it at home.

We have finished our unit on understanding the difference between the subject and the predicate of a sentence and have moved on to understanding the difference between an independent and a dependent clause. Then, students will be using these two clauses to build three different types of sentences: simple, compound, and complex. Students can be playing Blookets on Parts of Speech, Clauses, and Simple, Compound, and Complex Sentences (all posted in Google Classroom).

Weekly PE Update
This past week, we learned a new game called Sturtee Ball and explored 5 games in one class period. Over the next two weeks, students will be given a choice among the three gyms. Each day will have a racquet sports option, a group game option, and either a trenchball or sport-specific option. We will run the Mile on Wednesday or Thursday next week. Students will be graded on their ability to engage in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

18-19 A 11: 30- 8:31
17 B 13:00-11:31
16-15 C15:00 - 13:01

🔍 How PE Performance is Graded
🔍 How PE Performance is Graded
We assess based on these areas:
Hygiene: Dressing out daily (PE shirt, shorts/sweats/leggings, tennis shoes).
Integrity: Following game rules and expectations.
Communication: Using kind words, advocating for needs, and a positive tone.
Safety: Using equipment properly, following directions, and no horseplay.
Participation: Engaging in moderate to vigorous activity. Our goal is for every student to run a 400m lap without stopping by the end of Q1.
Students can use a 10-step rule: walk 10 steps, run as far as possible, repeat as we work on building up cardiovascular endurance. We understand there are different ability levels and healthy progressive training is encouraged.
