We have begun our next unit on Forces & Motion, that asked us to help determine the cause of the malfunction that occurred when a spacecraft was docking with the space station. So far in the Forces & Motion unit we have worked cooperatively with a partner, explained key concepts with computer simulations, and created solutions using hands-on materials. This week we will create a model to show the relationship between force and velocity change. We will also connect key concepts to real world events using scientific articles.

Students are doing a great job working diligently on their Read 180. This week, we have split into our two groups - one group works on their independent Read 180 while the other group works with the teacher at the back table, and then we switch after 15 minutes. Students can access Read 180 from home if they would like additional practice. On Wednesdays, we are doing Social Studies Wednesdays, where we study topics related to Social Studies. For the first two weeks, we are going to study geography. Ask your student to identify important parts of the world on a map!
