Good morning everyone,
I hope that everyone is doing well following the thanksgiving break, and we are closing in on the end of our first semester here at William Penn. Here is a run down of what is going on within the Team E classrooms right now:
Math:
In class, we are working on Unit 3, lesson 1, investigation 3 right now, and hope to complete this by Wednesday. We will be going through stations activities on Thursday and Friday, and will have a quiz review on Monday. On Tuesday of next week, we will have the Lesson 1 quiz that deals with linear functions. Students are welcome to sign up for Homework Club for thursday and get the help they need.
Science:
In Science, there is a unit test on energy tomorrow (Wednesday, Dec. 3) We will be moving into chemistry on Thursday beginning with a lesson on safety and then into the basic parts of chemistry.
Social Studies:
This week had homework Monday 12/1 on Partisan Politics, rest of this week looking at the history of political parties and how they change/evolve over time.
Will have another homework sometime this week, the unit of political parties will be coming to a close soon.
English:
Students are still working on a short story unit. We have just finished Bradbury’s “The Sound of Thunder” and will be starting Langston Hughes’ “Thank You, M’am” early next week. Right now students are revising “Sound of Thunder” compositions (count as a quiz grade). Each class period also came up with a class ACTION PLAN to help everyone find success in Marking Period 3. Please ask your student about this plan – many of the plans include self-reflection, rewards for good behavior and peer help. Each class set at least two goals they are trying to reach MP 3.
Have a great rest of the week!
