Swann Lion Times

Be sure to talk with your Lions each night about what standards they are working on and what activities they are doing to master those standards! Here is some general information to get the conversation started.

In Math, students use the Open Up curriculum. Click here to see the Open Up lessons for all grade levels! Click here to see the Math 1 Open Up lessons. All grade levels are moving into review mode! Check out the released tests in the section below.

In ELA, students have moved into reviewing for their EOGs. Check out the released tests in the section below.

In Social Studies, 6th graders are learning about the Middle Ages, 7th grade is learning about the 1960s and 8th grade is exploring the 1970s.

In Science, 6th graders are in their Earth Science unit, 7th graders are learning about human body systems and 8th graders are learning about matter and chemistry and prepping for their EOG.

Want to help your student review for their EOGs? Boost their confidence? Practice their test taking strategies? You're in the right place! Each week we will share new strategies and the links to the practice tests. Talk to your students about the strategies and make a habit of completing several questions from the practice tests every night!

In May, our focus trait of the month is hope. What does hope mean to you? Talk together about how hope has helped you in yr life. What are some ways you can stay hopeful even in the face of adversity? Why is having hope important?

Spring sports practices have begun! See the athletics page of the website for the schedules. Note that most Spring athletic events do not happen on middle school campuses due to facilities. Note the location of the event on the calendar carefully.
