ELA –
Final drafts of our realistic fiction stories are due on 11/20 (right before break). I'm asking for three scenes to be drafted by this Friday (11/9). Ask your student about his/her story! I'm really excited to read the final drafts.
Our last page goal before Thanksgiving break is due on 11/20 as well. Keep reading at home!

Social Studies –
We have been wrapping up the first part of The Ancient World this week. Students received their study guides for the summative test last Friday and were able to work on them with me in class. We went over the answers on Wednesday and I posted the answer key on my website. On Thursday, students who wished to present their Egypt projects to the entire class were able to do so. I've been very impressed with the projects. I have almost finished grading them and grades will be posted soon. Students finished their week with the unit summative test.
On Monday, we will have a brief detour into some other civilizations in the Mediterranean region and then we will move on to India and China.

Science –
In science this week students wrapped up our lesson and review of eclipses which we touched on at the beginning of the year when we had the opportunity to view one in our own backyard. Students took a formative assessment on Thursday to assess their knowledge of eclipses.
As a class we also discussed our results from the pumpkin drop last week. Students analyzed and graphed data from the drops to support or disprove their hypothesis and predictions. They had made predictions relating mass and drop time, mass and crater depth, and diameter and crater diameter.
In the coming weeks students will begin preparing for their summative assessment over goals 2-5 of the universe unit. This is tentatively planned for the Tuesday after Thanksgiving break.
