Updates Week of March 12-16, 2018

This will mark the last week of the 3rd nine weeks.  Students will be out of school this Friday, March 16 for a planning day.  Then it is off for a week of Spring Break!!  Students will be receiving a math spring break packet this week.  This packet along with a geometry vocabulary packet will be due when they return to school March 26th.

Math
   This week we will conclude our study of decimals to the tenths and hundredths place.  Students will take the end of module test on Wednesday, March 14th.  We will continue to work in our geometry module.  Students are beginning to work with protractors and learn how to find measures of angles and soon unknown angles.  Ask your child about the geometry vocabulary they should have to study.

Science
   With the recent time change we had a discussion on the sun and earth and seasons. Students were able to observe a sundial and think about how the earth moves and not the sun.  We have also been discussing plants with the new season coming up and all the plants in bloom.  We have been discussing the purpose for all the pollen we have been seeing on everything.  Ask your child about how the sundial works.

Dates to remember
March 16............Planning day no school
March 19-23......Spring Break no school
March 30............No school
April 16-19.........FSA Math Testing

Until next time,
R. O'Steen
