Greetings Families,
It is hard to believe that the end of the third quarter is upon us. This will be an important week for students and it is important that they receive encouragement to put in the work necessary to perform well. There will be two math tests this week: multiplying decimals and dividing decimals. There will be a geology test and a Greek and Latin's Roots quiz. Please ensure that students are studying as is appropriate for your family.
Here are the lessons for week nine.
Science: During the final week of the quarter, students will discuss the different layers of soil. They will spend the latter part of the week writing an essay comparing and contrasting the processes that change the earth’s surface. They will be given two phenomena that bring change to the earth’s surface with one being quick, such as an earthquake, and the other slow, such as a drought.
There will also be an exam on Thursday. Students should be reviewing their notes nightly in preparation for this test. As this is the only test of the quarter, it alone is worth 45% of the students’ grade. There is a quiz Monday on geology as well. The geology quizzes given this quarter should also be used to help students prepare for the test. You can also find the Quizlet here.
