Week 9/8-9/11

 Dear Parents,

We thank you for your hard work in helping us get through our first full week of school. Your students did awesome and we enjoyed the opportunity to teach them! I will touch on a couple of things we are going through in class. Please always let us know when you have questions or thoughts.

English class:

In math this week students have studied finding the area of quadrilaterals and complex figures. It has been some challenging material, but they have done great. They will continue studying area this week focusing on parallelograms and other figures. Encourage them to work hard!

In language arts we have started a research project they will be doing. This project will introduce them to ideas and concepts they will be learning throughout the year. I also will be working and have nearly completed our reading program for the year. Please encourage the students to pick a book they would enjoy to read and have them bring it this Tuesday. We will also be starting a new ELA curriculum this year. I will be sending you more information about our new language arts curriculum early next week.

Thank you for your patience and help this year! 

Chinese class:

This week we have login into Mandarin Matrix. Students should already know the login information and password.  If they forgot, please let me know. I have used class dojo to communicate with you about how your student is doing daily. There are still few parents haven't signed in. If that is you please do it soon.

Red class parents, thank you for bringing your student in today for Chinese assessment.  I apologize for taking longer than I thought to assess your student.

Science:

We will continue learning about the scientific method and cross cutting concept through water cycle activities for ecosystem unit. Homework: students will have quizlet science terminology practice assignments to complete.
