7 Unity Core Classes
Social Studies - Teresa Groene
We have been moving through World War II and have learned about the war in Europe and spent a few days learning about the Holocaust.
We have most recently started learning about life on the Homefront and how the war affected life for the people at home in the U.S. during the war. Besides rations, Rosie the Riveter, and war bonds, we are learning about Japanese Internment camps.
After conferences, we will finish with the war in the Pacific. We will have a test during the week of October 8. Students will receive study guides and will review in class to prepare for the assessment.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions!
Math - Bianca James
This week we have completed our first learning target in unit 2. We have successfully completed combining like terms and will begin next week with distributive property. Students will complete the learning target 2 formative on Wednesday during conference week so they can enjoy their 4-day weekend!
See you at conferences next week! 😀
ELA - Jarrod Jones
We are starting our second unit, Writing About Reading. While our first unit focused on reading, this one will center on writing. Students will read four short stories and then select one as their focus. To kick off the unit, we read and analyzed a short story together in class. Now, students will analyze their chosen story and create a companion book, which is a text that offers an in-depth analysis of another piece of writing.
Next week, students will be introduced to the four short stories:
“A Tell-Tale Heart”
“The Great Rat Hunt”
“The Monkey’s Paw”
“The Fan Club”
