Happy New Year

Welcome Back! 

Hope you all had a fun winter break!

Announcements:

• If you have a 1-2 inch binder, please bring it tomorrow
• Please look at Power School and bring in any missing assignments
• Ms. Schneider and Ms. Bowen will be teaching classes together until January 24th

Math:

We completed a holiday questionnaire and tallied how many students answered each question with a yes. In the next couple of classes we will be working on converting between percent, decimal, and fractions. 

Next week students will be writing a pretest on decimals and percent. This assessment is not for marks. It is to gather information about what they know entering these two topics.

Science:

We are starting a new unit in Science called Planet Earth. In order to tie concepts from past units into the new year we are starting by studying Boyan Slat's Ocean Cleanup. Tomorrow we will watch a video to learn about some of these ideas. Students will be invited to write about this video as well as other ocean plastic information from before the break.
