Brrrrr... Winter is on the way.

Assalamu alikum,

Brrrrr... what a wintry beginning to the week. I want to remind students and parents that we go outside for recess and that appropriate clothing is required. Students need to wear jackets, gloves/mittens, and hats or hoods when going outside. Students without appropriate clothing will stay indoors.


 This week in the warmth of the classroom, we will be doing math and science as always.

6th graders are focusing on review of multiplication and learning division of fractions. There will be a test on all fraction operations at the beginning of next week. In science we are looking at the factors that affect a population. We will be introducing a long-term team project on ecological systems.



7th graders will transition from similar figures to scale this week and will be creating scale maps of their rooms and using scale to interpret real distances represented on maps. In science, they will be researching and preparing for a debate on the FCC's control of radio and microwave frequencies. This is an interdisciplinary unit with a summative persuasive/argument essay written and assessed in both ELA and Science.


8th graders have a test Thursday on Linear Equations and Bi-variate Data. In science, we are learning about the life cycle of stars and will continue research on the stars of their chosen constellation.



Stay warm,
Sister Patti Picard
