Well our first full week of school has ended nicely. This week we really hit the books and started into our various subjects.
In English students were working on researching and reading memoirs while practicing the reading strategy of making connections to the text. We read a number of memoirs written by young adults and have started to plan out our own memoirs that we will begin to write next week.
In Math we had our first quiz on exponents and prime factorization today. At first look it seems most have a good grasp on the lessons taught this week. Once marked the quiz will be sent home for parental signature.
We have started looking at the scientific process in Science class. The students have been divided into various groups and are learning how to work effectively to break a large problem down into smaller parts so to better reach their collaborative solutions.
Next week we hope to start the Intermediate Boys soccer tryouts and we continue to hone our soccer skills in gym class.
Please remember that next week is picture week, open house, and the book fair. Notes have gone home from Mrs.Lance regarding the music program so please check in with your child as there is some information regarding music books.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and has a chance to enjoy the wonderful weather and the Richmond Fair.
Mr. Brooks
