This week is the end of the 3rd quarter. It has really flown by! All missing work was due today. Most work from this week will appear in 4th quarter grades. We are continuing on at a busy pace.
First drafts of book reports are due no later than this Friday. Students may count their book report reading time toward their Reading Log minutes for March. Please remember that they need to be reading 400 minutes or more per month. This month, any student who reads five or more books will receive 4 free tickets to a Tucson Padres baseball game!
We are studying Ancient Greece this week and continuing our Biography and Autobiography unit this week. We will also be celebrating Geometry and improved Galileo test scores on Thursday. 3/14 is International Pi day. Students may bring any round food to measure and share with the class on Thursday afternoon. Please ask your students about their Galileo scores. All students received a break-down of their progress today. If you see a star, it means that they have demonstrated improvement throughout the year. A "Wow!" means that they demonstrated amazing improvement since the beginning of the year. Writing scores are coded in pink, Math scores are coded in Green, and Reading scores are coded in orange.
