Let's meet our AR goals! / Social Studies – Mrs. Fehrman
We are almost finished with Activity 1D in our workbooks. Students have learned about human-environmental interactions. Our final activity in the geography unit will be Activity 1E. Students will learn how people, products, and ideas move from one place to another for political, environmental, social, and economic reasons. Once this is completed, we will prepare for our unit test.
Math – Miss Mautz
We will finish Module Two by reviewing it and taking our Module 2 Quiz on Thursday.
Students can also work on Prodigy, Khan Academy, & Study Island if they have any spare time on the weekends along with any night they do not have any math homework. / Science – Mr. Reyher
This week students learned to identify and describe the steps of the scientific method. Ask your student if they can tell you the steps of the scientific method. Next week we will be practicing using the scientific method by performing several mini-lab experiments. Students will have to form a hypothesis from a testable question, perform the experiments, record their results, and draw conclusions. This will be our last activity before our first unit test.
