Welcome to the Willow Weekly. Here you will find all of your Team Willow news and information. Please sign up for automatic updates and you will be notified whenever an update is made.
Please remind your students to charge their Chromebook every night! We have had many students come to class with dead Chromebooks, which slows down instruction. Thank you!
Upcoming Events:
7th grade will be taking a field trip to Ronnie's Cinema to see the movie Hidden Figures. You can view the trailer for Hidden Figures here. Permissions slips were sent home with students today. If they did not get one they can stop by Mrs. Pettid's room to grab one. Permission slips need to be turned in to Mrs. Porter by January 12th. Cost is $11. You can view the electronic copy of the permission slip here.
Important Information:

English –
We jumped into second semester by finishing up our narrative writing unit. On Friday, (most) students completed their on-demand writing assessment, where I asked them to write the best true story that they could in order to show off all that they have learned throughout the process of writing realistic fiction. Good stories are good stories, regardless of whether they're "fake" or "real."
Due to the water main break, fourth hour didn't get a chance to test, so they will be able to finish that up on Monday. If students in 1-3 hours didn't finish their tests, they can come up during lunch on Monday to complete it.
Next week, we'll be starting our new unit on informational writing!

Social Studies –
As we return from break, students have been refreshing their
understanding of Hinduism and began looking at Buddhism. On Friday, we graded Reading Notes 15. If your student did not finish, please
encourage them to have it completed by Monday.
Next week we will finish our look at India and will have an open-note
quiz next Friday. The notes are
available on my website.

Math-
7th - This week week we reviewed expressions and equations. They have some review problems that are on google classroom that are due on Monday 1/9. They took their preassessment for our next unit, ratios and proportions.Algebra- started chapter 6 on systems of equations. They covered systems by graphing and systems by substitution.
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).
