Math and Science Update
Today is an opportunity to see a Supermoon! First one since 1948! Moonrise was at 6PM, and it’s gorgeous, so take a look outside. This is one homework assignment you can do together!
In science, we are actually learning about cells and will be assigned a project later this week due towards the end of the month. Once we have learned the parts of a cell, students will be creating and labeling a 3 dimensional model of a plant or animal cell. We will also be doing one in class next week. This can be a fun and creative project and will be the equivalent of a test grade.
In math, we are learning integers. Hard to understand below zero temperatures when you have lived in Phoenix all your life, but they are catching on. Chapter test will be Wednesday, November 23rd.
We are currently in the middle of a canned food drive. If you have any non-perishable food items to contribute, please send it to school this week.
Progress reports will be sent home soon, but you don’t need to wait! You can go to ParentVue anytime. If you don’t have the app, there is a link on the Parents tab. Your child also has an account with StudentVue and can also check grades on our home page under the student tab. http://www.laveeneld.org/
