Congratulations to Nina! Her TGFD Promise Letter was selected to be read during our upcoming Too Good For Drugs Graduation. This was a difficult decision because so many students wrote letters that provided specific details learned in the program and heartfelt promises to parents to stay drug-free. We look forward to hearing Nina's thoughts about the program on March 23rd!
Save the Date!
Too Good For Drugs Graduation will be Wednesday, March 23rd at 1:30 p.m.
Reminder - 3rd Trimester Notes
As students head into the final trimester of the year, they may want to set some goals based on their 2nd Trimester progress. Also, please make note of the late homework procedure for the 3rd Trimester...
1 day late = minus 25%
More than 1 day late, until the unit test is taken = minus 50%
After end of unit = 0% earned
*Ungraded late work = 2 point deduction from bank of "Homework Completion" points in that subject
Subject Update:
- ELA (English/Language Arts) - We will continue our theme Nature's Fury. Students will learn how to ask and answer "thin" and "thick" questions about a text, and continue to apply their knowledge of perfect verb tenses to writing. Students will also continue working with List #9 word parts, with the List #9 assessment planned for Friday.
- Science - We will begin our physical science unit, "Properties of Matter." Students will start with a look at the structure of matter in Chapter 14.
- Social Studies - Now that we have taken a look at how the Spanish extended colonies into North America, we will hear how the French explored the Mississippi and established new settlements.
- Mrs. Strong's Math Class - We will continue Topic 6 about dividing fractions, applying what we have learned to problem solving around real-world situations. The Topic 6 Test is planned for Friday, March 18th.
