We have a big project coming up THIS WEEK! We have been studying California's history, and students will be participating in a Wax Museum presentation on THIS FRIDAY, May 17th! It will be open for parents and families to come and visit in the afternoon at 1:30pm. Mark your calendars! Each student picked a famous Californian to study. Students have a packet we have been working on in class. The presentation with include a trifold board that we will work on in class (stay tuned for dates), a short speech (written in class), and a research paper (Also, written in class). Students will need a 'costume' of some form to dress like their chosen Californian. Please refer to the packet for any questions you may have, and contact me if you need any further clarification.

Grades will be updated weekly.

Math Homework packets are still being sent home. These packets go into the gradebook as a percentage of their math grade and they must turn them in completed each week. Please remind students to be responsible and turn them in! 

We are finishing our second fractions unit this week. The Unit test will be Tuesday, May 7th. Students took home a review on Friday to start studying.

We are actively working on our California History projects! Please be checking in with your student about their progress on this project. Students have written their speeches and need to work on memorizing them. The speech is only a few sentences, and they have a copy in their binder to practice with.

We are currently working through Unit 16 in our Roots curriculum. The last vocabulary/roots (and spelling) test will be on Friday, May 17th. Here is a helpful link from Quizlet that students can use to study.
