The highlight of our day today was not the Latin Test, or the Language Use NWEA, but of course SCIENCE! :)
We discovered the differences between color and light, and learned a bit about photons. We will continue in our learning this week as we investigate some more refraction, reflection, and the electromagnetic spectrum. Ask your scholar to explain how we broke light up and then put it back together....
Nonetheless, we did study math today, as well as English, History, and took an NWEA. Scholars that did not perform well on the Math Assessment are needing to correct their math test this evening. We began the next chapter, and will continue with Absolute Value and Integers all week. Some students will need to work through a re-teach packet this week for chapter one while they also work on chapter two. Those same students will take another test for Chapter One later this week, or early next week. If they perform better they will have the opportunity to change out their grades.
There is a change in the schedule for next February! Our class coffeehouse will be February first. The location is to be announced. We will travel to Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolate Factory the Wednesday before and so the scholars have chocolate for families. :) Please change your calendars and include the Math Counts Competition that will take place at Weber State on the 9th of February. The team will be meeting at 8 a.m. at Weber State therefore we do not want to have our coffeehouse the night before.
Enjoy the photos from today!
