Our day
began with math where students reviewed concepts related to ratios and rate to
prepare for tomorrow’s unit test. Students also worked to ensure all practice
work for this unit is complete and correct. Students received individual
conference time to hear what they need to focus on to improve their solving of problems
and communicating how they solve ratio and rate problems. Students who did not
get done in class are asked to complete pages 22 – 42 in the MMS 7 book for
homework. Students will be writing the test tomorrow. Please review the Fractions,
Percents, Ratios, and Rates test that went home yesterday, sign the test, and
return the test to school tomorrow.
In our
inquiry unit we conducted more experiments that helped us to understand the
properties of air when the air is moving Ask your child to tell you about
today’s investigations and what they learned. Students who completed all their
math review began working on their ‘Properties of Air’ mind map that shows all
the properties of air we have learned about. This mind map will be assigned as
homework over the long weekend and is due on Tuesday, February 20th.
Students should use the mind map as a study tool to prepare for ‘The Properties
of Air’ test which will take place on Wednesday, February 21st.
The speech
contest where SJA students go up against their counterparts at The Maples
Academy takes place tomorrow. The contest begins at 10:30 am. All are welcome
to attend.
We ended our
day with a Spirit Day Assembly where students in houses had to guess the number
of hearts in a jar. Congratulations to Kappa for placing first, Theta for their
second place, and Zeta for third place.
Please note
that there is no school for students this Friday as it is a Professional
Development Day for teachers. There is no school on Monday, as it is Family
Day.
On Tuesday
after the long weekend, we will begin working on our art project for our flight
unit. Students will need to bring in a t-shirt that they don’t mind getting
very messy with paper mache. Students are also asked to bring in newspapers.
Students are
asked to come to school wearing their gym uniforms on Tuesday for the Jump Rope
for Heart event. Keep collecting pledges and donations.
