Humanities
We’ve had a good week. We’ve continued to read Sign of the Beaver and check for understanding. In addition, we’ve also been working how to make a good framework for essays. Students have been looking at prompts for givens and variables and seeing if main ideas are distinct enough. They will be working over the long weekend to put together an essay based on one of the main idea frameworks they wrote this week.
Science
Students finished looking at all the systems of the body and were tested on it on Thursday. They should be asking you to sign their test this weekend.
Math
We’ve started working in earnest with decimals. Students have been adding and subtracting with them, comparing them and rounding them. We’ve done some group work to target weak areas, and they have been making good progress.
We also spent some time this week putting together large stained glass windows that will hang in the Sukkot at the JCC. They are nearly complete, and they are coming along fabulously.
