This week students will be learning all about the kingdoms of Western Africa in the middle ages. We will cover the Mali Empire, the Ghana Empire, and the Songhai Empire.

Daily Agendas: Here are the Daily Agendas for our mini Styles of Writing Unit that we'll be working on until February Break.
Homework Expectations: Students should be completing 20 minutes of reading Monday - Thursday. Students can choose to read a physical book, ebook, audiobook, newspaper, magazine, etc. They have time during the school day to go down to the library and/or pick a book from my classroom library. They also have access to an online book platform called Sora that has ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines that they should be familiar with at this point.

Week of February 9-13
We are finishing the Unit 5 Summative Tuesday. We will be starting Unit 6, expressions, equations and inequalities and will finish after Winter Break. the link below can bring you to family resources for this upcoming unit.
Unit 6 provides many chances to extend learning for students who may have been working with equations prior to this unit. This will allow students who have been working on Pre-Algebra topics to complete much of that work in class instead of taking extra time before school or during Hawk Time. Pre-Algebra topics will cover two-step, multi-step equations and inequalities with variables on both side of the equations. We will also continue to graph linear equations and begin to examine linear inequalities.
MS Math team
We had a great day of Math last Friday as 14 of our MS math team members travelled to KSC for a day long competition. I do not have final results yet but will share those once I receive them. Thank you to all the students who participated!!

Announcment: The UNH STEM-MoBILE will be visiting the science classroom on February 10, 2026. Learn more in the daily agenda slides.
As we conclude our unit of study cytology (the study of cells), we will be focusing on photosynthesis and cellular respiration, specifically:
all organisms are made cells and these cells complete all of life's functions (photosynthesis and cellular respiration)
cells are made of parts that work together so the cell functions as a whole
all organisms must obtain and use energy
Here is the LINK to the daily agenda. Ever wonder the types of questions students have? Here is a LINK that shares the list of questions students developed that I use to plan out the lessons in the unit.
Reminder: students should come to class with their science binder, science journal, writing utensil, planner, Chromebook (in its case), and homework when applicable.

In mid-December students demonstrated their knowledge of clothing vocabulary by drawing well-dressed elves and describing them to their classmates. Students also wrote a short story that included descriptions of clothing, arrival times at school and/or home, and included many of the verbs they have acquired including is, has, walks, runs, opens, closes, wears, and sees.
We learned about French holiday traditions and decorated (and ate!) everyone's favorite holiday treat: Bûche de Noël.
In January, we have begun expanding our school supply vocabulary, are practicing asking to borrow these in French, and will discuss our hopes for the future using "Je veux" (I want).

Herzlich Willkommen in Deutsch 7!
Welcome to German 7. Students are just beginning to learn the sounds and spelling of German words. Students have finished up their unit on descriptions of themselves and where they are from. When we return from break we will be starting a unit on school. What's in your backpack? What's in the classroom? Which supplies do you need for which classes?
Practicing vocabulary continues to be essential to leveling up their language skills. Students have new Quizlet sets on Google Classroom and they should be studying 10-15 minutes of old and new vocabulary per day!

¡Felices Fiestas! This winter, we compared holiday traditions in Spain and the U.S. Why do Spaniards eat 12 grapes on New Year's Eve? How are the Three Kings different from Santa?
In January and February, we will be studying the famous Spanish-language children's song "Los pollitos dicen" ("The little chicks say"). In English, chicks say "peep peep," but in Spanish, they say "pío pío." Students will learn how onomatopoeia differs across languages. Dogs say "woof woof" in English, but "guau guau" in Spanish! Students will practice building simple sentences to describe animals, their habitats, their likes/dislikes, and their sounds. At the end of this unit, students will be able to write a creative story about an animal encounter!
To get ready for Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance, we studied his use of the sapo concho (a Puerto Rican toad) on his album cover. What does this animal symbolize?
