As we close on our second week in second quarter Mrs. Uhrhan and Mrs. Schuver want to update you on homework. If your student is coming home with only 20 minutes or so of homework don't be alarmed! This means that your student is using their time wisely in class! Mrs. Uhrhan and Mrs. Schuver both give time (on most days) to start assignments in class. This includes time to work on projects, ask questions to clarify misunderstandings, and work on assigned homework. This being said if your student IS coming home with more than an hour of work this may mean they are not using their class time to its fullest potential.
Now is the time to have a conversation with your student, especially with conferences just around the corner and check in. We are seeing a lot of good habits forming, like writing in planners daily.
This week students have been working hard on a branches of government project. This included giving a brief oral presentation in front of the class. Students had the opportunity to practice some public speaking skills and all did a wonderful job! In Science students are embarking on the fascinating unit of the human body! Mrs. Uhrhan has enjoyed all the questions and loves the excitement students are showing. In math this week students have had conversations about combining like terms and working on writing expressions from sentences. Students are overall handling this topic well! Finally in English students have been getting into their book clubs. In this unit students will explore many topics including character traits, figurative language, and plot/ character development.
As always have a wonderful weekend and we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible during student led conferences!
