It's All Greek to Me

World History, the students collaborated on putting together an Ancient Greek for “Dummies” book that contained information about the lasting impact Ancient Greece had on America and other parts of the world.  I was very proud of the effort that each individual student put forth as well as the ability for the students to work together. As you can see in the pictures provided, the final products turned out to be prime examples of the student’s capabilities when they put forth their best effort and work together for one goal.

We will be beginning the second Quarter with the Roman Empire.  The students will be using Google Classroom for many activities that we will be working on this quarter so please make sure your child’s device is coming to school “CHARGED”

Math Update

Students are completing the scientific notation chapter, we will work on ratio, proportion and percent next. Ask them to compute percentages or find tax or tip when possible. We also finished our free trial of manga math and we will start using moly math next week. Thank you to all parents who attended conferences.

Chemistry of Materials Unit

In Science the Zips just wrapped up their first unit:  Chemistry of Materials.  This was a lab based unit where students had the opportunity to study materials, their properties and make decisions about them based on their environmental impact.  Students created circuit boards and then used the copper chloride produced to answer the question of how best to dispose of the toxic waste produced.  Students diluted, incinerated and precipitated out the copper and analyzed each method.  The final step in the unit is to write an mini argumentative paper where they have to choose a computer proposal and support it with evidence collected in our unit.  Students will use the CERR framework, just like they did in English, as the basis of their mini argumentative paper.  The labs were fun, engaging and relevant to our students lives.
