Math
General Information
Expect for you student to have homework each night with the exception of Friday. They will have Study Links homework every night because class time will not be given. They will only have one page a night and it needs to be brought back to class the next day. Study Links should not take you any longer then 15 minutes. If you and your child find that you are struggling with the concept please do not stress over this, write us a note saying you attempted it and we will help them with it. Please ensure that they finish the practice part on the bottom of the page and SHOW THEIR WORK on the back because this is what we will grade. Tests will be worth 2/3 of their grade so please help them and encourage them to study using the provided study guide. If you sign the study guide and send it back to class with your student an extra point will be added to their test score.
Current Unit
We are currently working on Unit 3 in our math class. We have set a test date for Tuesday October 24th.

Social Studies
General Information
In S.S., we do units based on different regions of the world. We use the 5 Themes of Geography to teach every unit.
An easy way to remember the 5 themes is to think of MR. HELP. (1. Movement 2. Region 3. Human-Environment Interaction 4. Location 5. Place) Most units will be 10 - 12 days. The United States unit is a 30 day unit because we feel it is important for students to know a lot about the country in which they live.
Current unit
Earth's Geography
-We are learning about landforms, natural resources, climate/vegetation, population patterns, and human cultures. The test over this unit will be Friday, Sept. 28.
