I'm sure you have heard by now about our soon-to-be-launched news site!  We are working on producing videos about student council elections, bullying, science, and art.  We'll keep you posted on our progress.  We wrapped up our first language arts unit and have started Unit 2, Making a Difference.  We also started the second unit in Social Studies, Early People in California.  Beginning this week, we will dive deeper in poetry with a Poem of the Week.  In addition to analyzing it in class, scholars will have a short homework assignment each night relating to the poem.  This week's poem is 74th Street by Myra Cohn Livingston.  You can download the assignment by clicking here or by visiting the Language Arts page.  In math, we have focused on becoming better critical thinkers and problem solvers.  I am very impressed with how well your scholars tackled the expanded algorithm/area model and can solve two-digit times two-digit multiplication problems without using the standard algorithm.  


*Please note that LAUSD has withdrawn the periodic assessments scheduled for this month.  I will provide you with information about their replacement as soon as I have it.  Thanks for understanding!


Have a great week!
