Too Good For Drugs
Deputy K presented our first TGFD lesson on setting goals. (Officer Stejskal was unable to hold the first session, but the students will meet her next week.) The students received a homework assignment to set a goal with their families. This page must be completed along with a parent signature by Wednesday, January 12. Students were told that they will earn a participation grade for Science/Health by completing these kinds of assignments on time and demonstrating appropriate behavior.
Subject Update:
- English - The students will learn how to use possessive pronouns and contractions with pronouns. They will also learn how to avoid writing double subjects and determine when to use we or us.
- Science - We are learning about the properties of matter. Students should be able to tell you the difference between an atom and a molecule.
- Social Studies - "No taxation without representation!" That was the protest cry of the colonists over the Stamp Act of 1765 imposed by the British government. Next week, students will hear more about the problems between Britain and the colonists.
- Mrs. Strong's Spelling Class - We will begin Lesson 15 on Monday. The students will be assigned homework during the week to practice their words. A final test will be given on Friday.
- Mrs. Strong's Reading Class - We will be working on story structure using a story map template while reading various literature selections.
- Mrs. Strong's Math Class - The students will continue in Chapter 10. The students will complete a short open-book homework review on Monday. Then we will identify different solid figures and learn how to calculate surface area and volume.
