Week 9/28-10/1

Dear Parents,

Thank you for bring your students to school for intervention and for a great week of classes as well. Your students continue to impress and grow in their learning! This week we have been able to work through many of our projects and complete their first test. We also successfully had students join us for Friday intervention.

English Class:

In math the students were able to study and review for their first test in area. They completed this test on Wednesday and will have the opportunity to retake the test this week. Many students have been doing well in this unit, but if any are in need of extra work or help please let me know!

In language arts we have started to read through Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief. They will have a unit of vocabulary and comprehension that goes alone with the book. Each student has also started their country research paper. This first research paper will be done in class, but it may be good to ask them details about their country.
