Weeks 25 - 26 (2/24 - 3/7)
Hello Woolloomooloo Families!
We had an excellent time this past Wednesday at the bouldering project in Eckington. Our scholars were able to participate with rock climbing, capture the flag, and other activities. We look forward to having other field trips in the near future, especially when our students behave so well.
Please make sure that you are checking Aspen and having those conversations with our scholars to ensure that third grade advisory grades are in good standing. It is the shortest advisory, so please make sure you are checking Aspen.
Next week is SPIRIT WEEK with the 10th Annual DEAL'S GOT TALENT SHOW on Friday, March 7th. Team Woolloomooloo's color for spirit week will be BLUE. Please make sure you have some "blue gear" on to be counted for SPIRIT WEEK.
Upcoming Assessments: Monday, March 10th – Unit 5 RCT
Homework: Paper HW due Friday. I-Ready lesson due Sunday (4 for this advisory)
Unit 5 family resources:
Algebra 1: This week in algebra 1 we continued graphing quadratics in vertex form, reviewed for the RCT, and took the end of unit RCT (summative) on Friday. I had to shift the date because a lot of 6th period students were not in class on Monday because of the field trip. Next week in algebra 1, we will begin Unit 7, “Quadratics Equations.” This unit is focused on the solutions to quadratics and different methods in solving.
Upcoming Assessments: Mid unit assessment unit 7 – tentative date 3/19
Homework: Paper HW due Friday. Deltamath assignment due Sunday at 10PM.
Unit 6 family resources:
- Intro to Quadratic Functions
- Unidad 6 en Espanol

Hello everyone!
This week, we worked on the End of Unit 2 Project. Students got really creative on "giving their flowers" to their community they value the most. Ask them to see what they created! We began Unit 3 with an introduction activity that had students read articles about conformity.

- End of Unit 2 Project due Friday (2/28) 11:59 pm.
Next week, we will be looking at the historical context for To Kill a Mockingbird. Students will be reading an article of firsthand accounts from the Great Depression and learning about Jim Crow Laws. We will begin a mini-unit on our writing focus for this unit, argumentative writing.
***Our novel for unit 3 is To Kill a Mockingbird. If students are able, we are asking them to buy their own copy for annotations and activities. We will begin reading the book in the beginning of March. Here is an Amazon link to purchase a copy. If you are able, we would appreciate any extra copies.
Have a great weekend!
