LANGUAGE ARTS:
Hello all!
This week in English Language Arts we will be studying Hatsheptsut, a story in Study Sync. We will be learning the importance of a well written paragraph. We will be focusing on topic sentences, citing evidence, supporting sentences, and how to write a thesis. We are continuing with our nonfiction reading. The requirement for this quarter is 2 AR points of nonfiction, these can be added up from multiple books or one longer book. Stay warm out there and as always, please email me if you have any questions or concerns.

MATH:
This week we'll be using ratios to enlarge and reduce shapes. We'll also look at how ratios are used in the real world. Next week we'll review chapter 4 and take the test on Wednesday and Thursday.
There is still time to get missing assignments turned in.

SCIENCE:
Hey All,
This week we will be starting to learn about chemical and physical properties/changes. We will also be doing the ice cream lab where students will be making observations and collecting data to observe what type of phase change occurred and what type of reaction is present. If your student has not taken the ECM/Phase Change quiz, please remind them to do so. The quiz can be found on my canvas page. If you have any questions or concerns, I would be happy to answer them. Have a fantastic week and bundle up!

SOCIAL STUDIES:
Hey everyone!
We will be finishing up our talk on Human Geography going over the differences that other cultures have with one another. Then, we will begin to start on our Oceania Map and Terms at the end of the week. Let me know if you have any questions.
