Science –
In Dynamic Science this week the students are finished human Circulatory/Respiratory System unit by taking their summative assessment on Friday, 3 April. Please ask your child how they think they did on the ‘test’ today. If they did not finish the test in class today, they will need to come in before school or after school on Tuesday to finish their test. As with any summative assessment, if your student would like to improve their grade, they will need to make a before or after school appointment with me to review their results and rework the goal. Once they have demonstrated proficiency with that goal. they will be able to take the alternative summative assessment.
The two learning goals for Circulatory System unit are the following:
- The student is able to describe the path of the flow of blood through the circulatory system.
- The student is able to describe the functions of the Circulatory and Respiratory systems.
Next week the students will continue with genetics!
If you have any questions or comments please let me know.

Social Studies –
Students jumped into the Middle Ages
this week with an exploration of feudalism.
After taking a pre-test, students were given an activity based on their
pre-existing knowledge. This activity is
on my website and was due on Friday.
Students were then given a vocabulary activity, which is due
Monday. The notes for this unit are up
on my website, and I am suggesting that students begin taking looking at a few
slides every night. During this unit we
will be looking at some key issues – the rise of nation states, the Black
Death, the relationship between the Magna Carta and the U.S. Constitution, and
finally the Crusades.
After school help is available in my room every Thursday until 4:00
