Week before spring break

We have entered the 4th Quarter.

Some teachers may be trying to re-establish expectations for school behavior and work quality!

So far this week:

In Math:

 Jon's class is working on the surface area of 3 dimensional objects (prisms).  There is a packet (a student pointed out to me that it wasn't a CHOW, but a packet).

Kurt's class is doing IxL.  The goal is to completely master and be fluent in addition and subtraction.

Both classes have been taking some time to practice SBAC protocols.

In Social Studies:

Students are researching, taking notes on, and writing speeches to perform as their historical figure.

in LA

Students are practicing the SBAC and continuing to read their short story packet for groups.

In Science:

The students were studying the effect of a disaster (mt St Helen's) on an ecosystem.  They are now studying the effects of killing off and then re-introducing wolves to an ecosystem.

    SBAC (Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium) is the new State Assessment that students in Washington will take this year. It has replaced the MSP and is aligned to Common Core State Standards.
