Mrs. Urban's science classes start Chapter 13 on plant processes.   Plants that exhibit asexual reproduction will be planted to take home as Christmas presents from Mrs. Urban.  Natural selection and animal adaptations are subjects just completed.  Watching the Galapagos Island video was very informative and enjoyable.

In Mrs. Beshore’s English, students worked on grammar, specifically linking and action verbs. There will be a practice Writing CRT given next week.

In December, ask your child about factor trees and cake division if they’re in Mrs. Nikkel’s Math 7 classes. Prime and composite numbers, simplifying fractions and prime factorization are their topics. Ask your algebra student to explain the difference between probability and odds. They are also doing percent of change problems to get a new price after discounts and sales tax are applied. They will be a great help in your search for bargains.

Reading classes are set to take a practice assessment the week of December 10. This shows what students already know about persuasive reading. Students new AR goals are set and charts will track their progress.

Mr. Nugent’s social studies classes are studying Kansas government. This includes state and local government and law enforcement.
