SEL - Ongoing embedded social emotional lessons occur daily.  Class meetings are  regularly embedded into the day and a reflection will end each week.  In addition to these, we are #aldrinallin.  We encourage acceptance, flexibility, and noticing the world around us.

Literacy  - For our fourth unit, we are focusing on texts related to point of view and the reader's perspective. This unit focuses on a variety of fictional texts. The students will learn and practice how to cite evidence to support analysis and inferences, determine a theme or central idea of a text, summarize, and compare and contrast texts in different formats. Our fourth reading test of the year will be on Thursday, December 4th.

Writing - For our fourth writing unit, students will be writing a narrative in the form of a realistic story. Students will continue to develop their skills on sequencing events, incorporating dialogue, including transitional words and phrases, and developing a theme.

Social Science- Our next social science unit of the year is exploring human settlement. Students will learn about this topic through both reading and watching videos. Students will also practice taking notes related to the question: "What are the causes and benefits of human expansion, and how does expansion change society?" At the end of the unit, students will demonstrate their learning by completing a four-square compare and contrast grid.

Science - The students will be exploring populations through the essential question of the unit, "Why do populations change size in an ecosystem?" The anchor phenomenon centers around what caused the size of the moon jelly population to increase. They will be focusing on this topic through simulations, readings, a lab, and evaluating evidence. Students will demonstrate their understanding in a written response at the end of the unit.

Mulvihill/Walsh/Zeller Math - The fifth math module of the year focuses on division and ratios, with a focus on fractions. Students will be practicing dividing common fractions by common fractions as well as whole numbers by common fractions. They will also continue to learn how to work with ratios, including in a table, graph, and in measurement. There will be two checkpoints that students will complete; one after the 7th lesson, and one after the 12th lesson of this module. 

Weber Math - For our third accelerated unit, we will be learning the grade 7, unit 5 curriculum which  focuses on rational number arithmetic. Students will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers. Our end of unit assessment will be on Nov. 10th.
