Week 11/30-12/3

 Dear Parents, 

We hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your family and wish you a wonderful rest of the day as well.

English: 

In English the students had no homework. I hope they enjoyed a great time with family this week. Once they return we will begin a new math unit on rates and percentages. This is a great unit for real life application so feel free to ask them questions about it.

They will also begin presenting their PowerPoints at the end of this week currently they are working through notecards in class to prepare for their presentation.

Also after talking with Mrs. McFarland about tests in class we wanted to be clear about how we offer retakes for tests. We will be offering retakes for any test they may have failed on Fridays. If a student chooses not to come on Friday a retake will not be offered. Unfortunately we have had to use too much class time for retakes and this seems like the best option for those that need to retake a test.

This coming week, we will begin to learn "成都的辣“

Homework will be ‘成都的辣” Mandarin Matrix reading and Quizlet “成都的辣” three activities. This will be posted on the Canvas, due the following Monday.
