We are continuing to learn about young activists. This week we learned more about the Birmingham Children's March of 1963 by looking at primary sources and viewing a brief video clip explaining the historic event. With these resources and our mentor text from last week, The Youngest Marcher, students studied the author's purpose of each text and used evidence from the text to support their thinking (RI.6.6 Determine an author's perspective or purpose in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text.) *Please remind your child to complete and submit all assignments in Schoology.

With the shortened week we will continue our exploration of percents by focusing on these essential ideas:

• The hundredths grid can be used to represent a fraction, decimal, or percent.

• To write a fraction as a percent, scale up or down to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100, if possible. (This will support our understanding of proportions)

• A benchmark percent is a percent that is commonly used, such as 1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, and 100%.

• Percent problems involve three quantities: the part, the whole, and the percent.

• When calculating the whole, given the percent and the part, write the percent as a fraction with a denominator of 100 and set it equal to the part over x. Then solve for x. (This will be a main focus as we move into unit rates)

Mr. Shedlock - Modern Literacy - KMS

Thanks for being flexible this week as we have been dealing with some inclement weather. We have been working on using HTML and have begun using CSS to help us style our code. Next week we will be continuing to use code.org and work our way through lessons 7 and 8 as we learn about web development.

Hi! FYI: On snow days I have been posting optional workouts for your kids to do! Hopefully they are helping you shovel the driveway as well, it is great exercise!

We have finished our Pickleball unit! I do hope your kids get out and try it when our weather improves! The Dublin Rec Center has courts and equipment, Library Park in Powell has two permanent courts, and according to their website, Coffman Park is building eight pickleball courts that are supposed to be completed this Spring! This week we are completing our Badminton (and "Speedminton") unit, and tomorrow the students have voted for a Just Dance workout! Next week we will start our unit on Cricket! Go Celts!

Mrs. Reamer - Physical Education - KMS

I hope all the kids had fun in class this week! We played three fitness related games (Trivia, BINGO and Snakes and Ladders)! I divided the students up into small groups and put them in break out rooms to work together. Break out rooms are a great way for the kids to get to know their classmates, make new friends, learn better communication and cooperation skills.

Have a great weekend! =)

Ms. Harper - Cog Ed - GMS and KMS

The students spent the week exploring volume and density. We will continue our investigation of density next week. On Monday, 2/22/21, students will have an opportunity to participate in an optional lab activity. A list of supplies for the activity can be located in our Daily Agenda.
