Book Talk Calendar
You also have some poems to write this week: A free verse and a social commentary themed poem. Remember, by the end of this month you will be sharing one of your original poems with the class. March 16-19 will be our POETRY SLAM where we will randomly draw your name. This means you need to memorize your poem, with a written copy to hand in. You were given a rubric last week so don't lose it. You can also find it on last week's blog.
Social:
Immigration Unit Final on Thursday. We will begin our Economic Unit, with Fedchun Bucks. Our classroom will become an economy where students will be paid to come to school, but will have to pay rent on their desks. A great way to learn how money flows through our society.
Science:
Students finished a
lab on electricity and handed in a
precis on battery technology. Students had a choice of 9 articles on recent
battery research and findings. See PowerSchool for ongoing comments, completion
and marks.

Math:
This week we are continuing our chapter on Similar shapes. Students will have a test on Thursday and Friday of this week so they can start their review today. Next week we will start a new chapter on inequalities.
PowerUp:
Students will be working on some real-life skills this month! Budgeting and expenses, taxes and investments. They may even be coming home to talk to you, parents, about how much things cost in your family.
Make your estimations (you do not need to fill in the income piece) for a monthly budget: What do YOU think your household spends on these things? After you make your estimation, have a conversation with the adults in your house, how close or how far off are you from what is actually spent each month?
