There is no mandatory homework over the break, however students can practice math skills on (khanacademy.com). Also, please check to make certain that your child has a working calculator. We will need them in class and they will be able to use them during the MAP test. Happy Holidays!

Science –
In Science this week we have stormed into our Weather unit! LOL You may want to ask your student "What does temperature measure?" They have begun understanding the kinetic theory and density as it relates to temperature and barometric pressure. Barometric pressure is the way meteorologists measure air density. As air cools off the density of the air increases creating higher pressures. The relationship between temperature and air pressure can also be stated as the temperature increases the air becomes less dense.
I wish you a refreshing holiday break and hope you have TONS of FUN SHARING LAUGHTER AND JOY WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

Social Studies –
During this abbreviated week we continued to look at Ancient Greece. Early in the week we focused on the Minoan civilization and then moved to the development and types of governments in the Greek city-states. When we return, we will continue with Ancient Greece. We will explore the beginnings of democracy, Greek art and architecture, as well as Greek contributions in philosophy, literature, and science. Students should remove all materials from their binders prior to Greece. Have a wonderful Winter Break!
Grades have been posted on the Portal and some will be updated over the break. I am available for after school help every Thursday until 4:00 p.m.
