Please keep up with the posted work. Scroll down to the previous days and see what you should’ve completed. Make sure you are following Google Classroom. Many of you have shown GREAT growth this year – and it you don’t exercise that muscle in your skull, it will start to weaken.

• Help around the house!
• Read 30 minutes
• Math Module 6 lesson 6 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OftWsb0fvbc, Learn and Succeed problems. Zearn Module 6 Lesson 6
• Topic A assessment (quiz) will be posted on Monday in Google Classroom – review lessons 1-6 this weekend please. We have learned much of this prior to our extended time away from our classroom because our work in MathWarmUps. HOWEVER, it is very important for middle school math. Please review lessons 1-6.
• Reading: Think About It “What would happen if trees disappeared from the world? Pages 78-79 What do you think about when you see the photos on these pages? Where is this photo from? Read the shorter passages from pages 80-81 (1) Tree-rific (2) Trees At Work (3) Top 5 Most Common Trees
• The reading passages above will lead us nicely to our last Science topic for the last card marking – Earth’s Spheres (Biosphere, Hydrosphere, Geosphere, Atmosphere). This is a favorite Science area of mine. We will talk about life on the planet, how everything is connected, how a change in one causes a change in the others – and aren’t we experiencing that now!
• Science: video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4TnPv_b6WU. In your Science journal, put a heading on a fresh sheet of paper for “Earth’s Spheres.” Pause the video as you go through it. Take notes as you go through the video, as we would in class. This video is just an overview for us. We will learn about each of the spheres in more detail soon.
• Have a good weekend … be kind to your family and most especially your parents.
• Give yourself a high-five from me
