Happy New Year!!! I hope you had a wonderful winter break with your families, and enjoyed a restful vacation. Due to our two week absence, this week’s ANDERLE ADVENTURES will only contain our highlights for the week. Look for a regular edition of the ANDERLE ADVENTURES next week!
THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS:
MATH:
We will begin our Hands-On Equations algebra unit. Hands-On Equations uses a visual and kinesthetic instructional approach to clarify abstract algebraic concepts. It will look very different to you than the algebra you and I learned in school! It is an amazing program that naturally lends success to all students, so don't be worried!
READING:
We will begin our next Schoolwide reading unit which focuses on the fiction genre. Students will explore the structure of fiction, elements of a story, and point of view. Our whole class novel study/response to literature unit on The Liberation of Gabriel King (which coincides with our next WEX unit) will begin this week as well!
PERSONALIZED LEARNING:
Students will finish up their research and prepare their final projects!
SOCIAL SCIENCE:
Students will finish up their Amendment presentations for Mr. Larson. Our class will be presenting to him next Thursday, January 14th!
SCIENCE:
Our exploration of ENERGY will begin this week as we examine different types of energy in our world.
