We will be using Discovering Our Past for Social Studies. We will be using FOSS kits for science along with supplemental materials.  

Science:  We are starting the year off with a unit on water.  This includes matter, properties, atoms and elements, universal solvents, water and earth, economy, and conservation.  

Social Studies:  We are currenlty learning about geography.  Students have been learning how to read different types of maps and are finishing up a student created book about the continents.  The book is due Tuesday.  Please ask your child to show you their books.  They are filled with interesting facts about the continents.     

Homework:  Students should be reading 70 pages a week.    

Important Dates:  

 08/16, 08/23, 08/30 Early Release Days (90 min.)

Rules/Procedures

When you are absent, it is your responsibility to ask for assignments.

If you would like to retake a test or rewrite an essay, you must let me know within 2 days of receiving your grade.  We will then make a plan on how we can work together to make sure you are given every opportunity to show me your best work. 

STUDENTS MUST HAVE A COMPLETED STUDY GUIDE TO RETAKE A COMPREHENSION TEST, AND NOTECARDS TO RETAKE A VOCABULARY QUIZ.

I am here to help you, so please always feel free to ask me any questions or come to me with any concerns. 

I do expect all of my students to follow the school rules as outlined in the District Handbook.  We will go over these rules the first day of school.
