For the week of Sept. 29-Oct. 3

How is it Wednesday already?!?! My apologies for not posting this update sooner.

Social Studies

We began discussing the "Five Themes of Geography" this week, taking notes and looking at dozens of examples on Monday and Tuesday. Today students will be completing a worksheet that asks them to apply these new classifications to a variety of examples. The rest of the week will be spent applying the five themes to Nelsen Middle School and Renton. The notes and accompanying NMS/Renton assignment will be due on Friday. Ask your student to tell you about MR. HELP!

Language Arts

Students should have finished and turned in their visual rubric this week. This assignment was a visual representation of the 4-point WASL scale for writing. Several projects are on display in the hallway by the library for the next week and a half. The rest of this week we are working on editing strategies that can be applied to their personal narratives. Final copies of personal narratives are due on Monday, October 6.

Skills review 1C is due tomorrow.
