Social Studies 7 Update

In Social Studies we have finished our work on our Revolutionary War portfolios.  On Monday after break, I will give the kids time to make sure everything is done and in order in their portfolio folders since they are allowed to use it on the assessment that will take place on that Tuesday and Wednesday after break,  Please check with them to make sure they have all of the contents of the portfolio finished  and ready to go.  Take care and enjoy the break.

Incentive Field Trip

As a celebration of a great school year together, Team Polar Bears will be taking an incentive field trip to Sky Zone on Thursday, May 22 during the school day.  Only students that fulfill the requirements outlined below will be invited to attend.

        Requirements include:

·        Students may NOT have any zeroes for assignments in the third marking period through the day of the trip. This does not include assignments past.  Some teachers allow for late work to be turned in, others do not.  Individual policies are up to the classroom teacher.

·        Students CANNOT have any written referrals for the third marking period.  

·        Students may NOT miss more than 5 excused days of school for the third marking period through the day of the trip.  

Students that do not meet the requirements will stay at Starpoint Middle School for the day and have a study hall in place of their core classes.  

The included time frame begins today, February 4th and closes on Thursday, May 22^nd.  A permission slip with a release form will be handed out as the date of the trip comes closer.  We hope this incentive of a fun day with their teachers and classmates will motivate students to do their best during the second half of the school year.  If there are any concerns or problems, please don't hesitate to contact any members of the team.

Sincerely,

Team Polar Bears Teachers

Unit 3 Spanish update.

Hello!

We started Unit 3 today.  This unit has a heavy focus on vocabulary acquisition.  Students will be drilling these verbs as vocab words.  It's simply  "pure memorization" from Spanish to English and English to Spanish .  Vocabulary sheets for the entire unit were handed out today.  Our first quiz (please check the homework link) will just focus on AR verb translations.  We will not finish this unit for about 4 weeks. Expect my next update around the end of February.
