Good afternoon Dynamic
Team!
Upcoming Events: Mar. 9th & 10th
– Student-led Conferences
4 – 8 p.m.
DYNAMIC is to be CONTINUOUSLY PRODUCTIVE AND CONTINUOUSLY
LEARNING!
Important Information:
You should only sign up for one time slot. Your student will lead this conference and present samples of their work for each of their core classes. We are available if you need to briefly speak with Ms. Kraushaar, Mrs. Pettid, Ms. Coffman, or Coach Daniels.
At least one teacher from
Dynamic will be available for help on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays until
4:00.
English –
We are nearing the finish line for our companion novels! By Monday, students should have drafted at least five chapters. Please check with your student on his/her progress. I will be checking for those chapters on Monday, and their work will be reflected on their summative participation grade (assigned right before spring break).
We will spend next week putting the finishing touches on our companion novels and polishing them up.
Just as an FYI, the summative assessment for informational writing will be the week before spring break (right before parent-teacher conferences). We will spend some time reviewing right before the assessment, which will ask students to publish a piece of informational writing about a topic that they know very well. This is the same assessment as the pre-test, which was given at the beginning of the unit. The hope is to see growth in their writing!

Math-
This week we worked on finding the greatest common factor in expressions and being able to accurately factor them. We looked at real life situations and how using the distributive property could be used to help solve the problems.

Social Studies –
The interrupted week made
for some changes in our schedule. We spent
some time on Greek mythology and on Friday completed an activity on
Architecture and Art. I postponed the
project to next week so that they can be a little more focused starting
up. The information is available on my
website in the Unit Resources menu.
Please ask your students to
share the words they are learning as we explore Greek and Latin roots,
prefixes, and suffixes.

Science –
Dynamic Science!
- Students know and I want to keep you informed as well. My youngest brother, age 52, died very early into this week. I will be out a day or two for his funeral and handling his estate.
The students did a sensory lab this week consisting of a 2 point discrimination test. Students tested the forearm, calf, palm, and middle finger with points which were 9 cm, 7 cm, 6 cm, 5 cm, 4 cm, 3 cm, 2 cm, and 1 cm apart. Please ask the student to about this lab activity. The students are working on a differentiated inquiry formative activity which you will see during student led conferences.
Goal 3: Gather and synthesize information that sensory receptors respond to stimuli by sending messages to the brain for immediate behavior or storage as memories.
