This week students are
reading a powerful story about perseverance in the face of economic uncertainty and segregation by the acclaimed author Mildred
Taylor—“Song of the Trees.” We continued honing our reading
strategies of questioning the text and of citing evidence from the text to
support understanding.
Students’ argumentative
essays about the three scary stories that we read for Halloween have been graded; however, I am
encouraging all students to continue revising their essays and seeking feedback.
Students should re-submit their essays through Google Classroom. Essay grades
will be changed in the gradebook as warranted. One to one time is available with me after school.
Math-
Two more grades were added this week. Do not be alarmed if the grades were low, as students were not allowed to study for the tests. These were Review Tests over concepts previously studied. By not having students review for the tests, helped me identify students who are not retaining some concepts. I will revisit these concepts and students will be reassessed.

Social Studies –
Students spent the week preparing for their Ancient World Unit
Assessment. We spent three class periods
working with study guides. Students who
did not finish the test have one week to finish up. Students who wish to retake the test will need
to meet with me first before scheduling a retake.
On Monday, we will move to our
new unit The Classical World. We will
begin the unit with a look at the geography of Greece and its impact on the
development of that civilization.
