English Class:

Thank you again parents for a great week. Your students have done awesome and I really appreciate all you have done to help them in their school work.

In math we have started to learn about polygons and how to find area of complex figures. The students will have a test this week covering the first half of our math unit. Please ask them to study and be prepared for the test on Wednesday.

In language arts we will be starting Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief. Please try to make sure your student has a copy of the book. If you are having trouble getting them a copy please let me know and I will do my best to get them a copy. Along with this they will be finishing their first research paper and project for English class. 

For next Friday's interventions I will be sending out a schedule this Monday or Tuesday. We will begin to have some students come in, while others that want to can remain online. Please let me know any problems or troubles you may have about Friday and I will address them quickly.

Chinese Class:

Red class parents thank you for bringing your student to school for intervention. Another great week passed:) This week, I helped students with their Canvas account, however, there is some problems on Canvas. I already wrote to district specialist and hopefully the problems will be resolved soon. For MMX, I have found out that students only can read and do the practice questions, but they won't be able to submit. Once again, for those parents who aren't login in class dojo, please do it soon. If you have any questions, please let me know.

We will continue review MMX unit 4-6 lessons.  Homework: Students will complete unit 5-6 lesson in Nearpod and Chinese word writing package.
