Dear Parents,
This week we have a short week but a fairly eventful one.
Tuesday will be a normal day, but the Trivium East Bard Competition will occur
on campus from 6:00-7:00. The winners of the competition will go on to compete
at Great Hearts-wide competition. Families and friends of all Trivium East
students are encouraged to attend. Please come to cheer our on our brave competitors
and show your school spirit!
On Friday we have our science test on the atmosphere and the
water cycle. Students will be expected to know general facts about air and the atmosphere,
specific facts about each layer of the atmosphere. There will also be some
questions on the first two steps of the water cycle, precipitation and
collection. This includes facts about the specific kinds of collection, namely,
surface runoff and groundwater. I will not be including a study guide for this
test. All students have very thorough notes on these topics and I will only be
including questions on the test which students can learn/review by studying
their notebooks. However, this is NOT AN OPEN BOOK TEST. I don’t mean to yell,
but I don’t want there to be any confusion on this point. J Students who wish to
get a good score on the test will need to study for it!
Remember, jump rope for heart is still going on. Students
can collect money for heart research and turn it on to their P.E. teacher, or
they can collect donations on line. At the same time, whether or not students
are collecting donations, they should be sure to practice their jump-roping
skills for our jump rope competition next week!
In math, we will continue to study fractions with a special
focus on the relationships between whole numbers and improper fractions and
also on the relationship between fractions and division.
This week students should be on the lesson “Adding and
Subtracting Fractions” in RM. Students who are not there will begin to be
assigned extra RM homework to catch up.
These are all the notes I have for you this week. If you
have any questions, comments or concerns, please be sure to message me through
your Jupiter Ed account.
Sincerely,
Miss Wycklendt
