Accelerated Math:

This week students practiced more with decimal operations and dividing fractions. We did several different activities to practice during class, we even went to the library to work through some breakout boxes! Students also took a Post-test on Friday over decimal operations and dividing fractions. Grades will be updated in Infinite Campus.  Any student that is unhappy with their score can come to my Hawktime on Monday to retake the assessment.

This week we learned how to use microscopes and labeled the different parts. We looked at a variety of slides and practiced drawing and describing what we saw. We finished the week learning about living and nonliving characteristics and introduced cells.

We spent time examining the 5 Themes of Geography.  Students practices recognizing connections between each theme of geography and the world around them.  We discussed fall and Halloween and had students connect the 5 Themes of Geography to each. We also spent some time learning about 9/11 so students could honor the victims.
