Reading

In Reading this week, students are finishing our literature set Among the Hidden. We will wrap it up with a study of real world population control regulations.

Writing

In Writing this week, students are beginning the Civil Rights section of our unit by looking at a timeline of the most important/impactful moments that lead to or shaped the Civil Rights Movement as a whole.

This week we practiced giving feedback. We finished the week learning about states of matter and doing a mini lab. This unit can be tricky, so please be sure to ask for help and study vocab at home starting next week.
