For the week of April 2nd - 6th

Sorry I am getting this post out rather late . . .

Welcome back from Spring Break!  I hope everyone was able to rest and recharge for the last 8 weeks of school.  Here is what you can expect this week:

Registration for Next Year
Your student was sent home with their schedule choices for next year. The sooner you sign and turn the paper back in, the more likelihood of your student getting preference of their top choices vs. students who turn their choices in late. If you do not plan on returning to Vision next year, there is a small section for you to fill out and return.   Your student is also eligible for online IDLA classes.  These classes are for students who have fallen behind trying to recoup credits and for students wanting to work ahead.  For more information please click the link below or call 208-342-0207 for a list of middle school classes.

Reading
We are working a lot on "Close Reading Skills" as we head towards our ISAT.  This involves reading slowly over materials, multiple times and annotating notes, questions and words that students don't understand. 

Independent book reports are due this Friday.  Click the link below to see the requirements. 

Math
The class just started our unit on Geometry.  Our first several chapters are a review of area and perimeter for rectangles.  Students are expected to memorize all formulas. 


Science
In science, we just started our unit on earthquakes.  The students have been working on labs this week that help with plate movement, how earthquakes are measured and terms scientists use to talk about earthquakes.
