Trimester 3 Update

I just wanted to summarize what the next few weeks will be like before spring break. 

We have assigned parts for our Shakespeare plays. We will be doing three plays: Macbeth (Sadie is primary script writer), Hamlet (Ben is primary script writer), and A Midsummer Night's Dream (Alyx is primary script writer). Each of the students have a retelling of the play that needs to be read and summarized into a storyboard with captions. Inside the storyboard needs to have how the characters react to how the plot unfolds. This requires a lot of inference and will help prepare themselves for how they should act when they begin rehearsing. The storyboard is the book club assignment for the week. I have also postponed the deadline to Wednesday the 20th.

The writing assignment this week will be to contribute at least 5 lines to your Shakespeare's character on the google drive script. 

In math, I hope to have geometry finished. We will start to cover calculating surface area and volume. I also want to have the fractions quiz and ratios quiz done and caught up for everyone by Spring break. 

We will have an easter egg party with a lower grade class about theoretical probability, ratios, and percent. This will be Friday, March 29th. More details to follow on how to help out with this. 

As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns. You are such a great class to work with. My job is the best in the world! Keep up the great work. Let's sprint to the finish line!
