Social Studies –
This week in Social Studies, we have been working towards the summative test. I moved the test to Monday since students also had another test this Friday. We have reviewed information together and students were given several days of class time to complete their study guides. Today I posted the answers to the study guide on my website.

While students were working on their study guides, I
continued conferencing about projects.
Please ask to see them – they are wonderful!

Math-
The students took a test this week over learning targets 1 through 3. We started solving equations this week!!
algebra finished chapter 4 and will be taking their test next week!
I found a nice website, check it out! Sign up for Table Talk Math here! The goal of this site is to provide clarity for what students could be doing to increase their math fluency and also provide prompts to discuss around the dinner table (or anywhere, for that matter).

Gravity and Moon Summative was today.
Here are suggested conversation starters for your young engineer:
- How did you feel/what did you think - about the gravity test today?
- How did you feel/what did you think - about the gravity test today?
The targets this week have been:
- Goal 2: I am able to develop and use models to describe the role of gravity
- Goal 3: I am able to develop and use models to describe cyclic patterns of lunar phases..
The cross-cutting concepts have been:
- Patterns: Observing patterns & events guides organization and classification & leads to understanding of relationships.
- Cause and Effect: Investigating and explaining causal relationships may predict & explain events.
Activities students participated in this week:
- Monday - Reviewed gravity & Moon concepts and began study guide review questions.
- Wednesday - Self-assess readiness, updated goal and vocabulary tracking, completed review questions, students asked questions needing clarification.
- Thursday - Corrected Review Questions and studied for Summatives.
- Friday - Gravity and Moon Summative was today.
Vocabulary Emphasis this week:
- }Moon phases Cause & Effect = Explain why we see each of the moon phases?
- Vocabulary: Axis, Ellipse, Gravity, Orbit, Revolution, and Rotation.
NEXT WEEK the students will be working on understanding the causes of seasons next week.
Goal 4: I am able to develop and use models to describe cyclic patterns of Earth’s seasons.
