Math- We have been working hard on dividing fractions! We had a review on mixed numbers -> improper fractions and improper fractions -> mixed numbers. We will continue using different methods to divide fractions.
ELA- Students have finished writing an essay to answer the question “How are you showing patriotism and support for our country?” The students were sent home with permission slips to be able to submit their essays to the local VFW. This was a great opportunity for students to show off their writing! The students are also required to write a journal every morning. They have a specific time allotted for journal and will be graded on their work at the end of the trimester. We have been working hard on our vocabulary words. The class needs to keep all of their notecards from these vocab words to make sure they have them to study. There will be a test on the first 5o words on Halloween!
6th Literature- We have been working on finding the climax of our story! Students have been reading and discussing what they feel is the climax. We are starting to build a plot diagram of our story so far up to the climax!
7th Literature- Students have been working on understanding how Jonas receiving the memories influence his character development. We are noticing what changes are happening by seeing the way he reacts to all the new memories.
8th Literature- Students have been analyzing how Katniss’ public image is seen through the capitols eyes and how she sees her image internally! We are getting through the interviews in the story and next up we will be reading about what happens during the game!
Junior High Class Model:
Along with various specials teachers, students will be switching for Social Studies (Mrs. Van Wyck), Science (Ms. Fogle) and Religion (Mr. Ochoa) throughout the week. This gives students a feel for switching courses and having many different teachers and teacher expectations as they prepare for high school.
