Math: This week the Marionettes explored and modeled the area of rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids. The Saplings focused on sample spaces, and experimental vs theoretical probability. The Vroomshrooms learned how to solve quadratics using the square root method and by completing the square. ELA: We started the week with discussions about our novels then hopped back into mood and tone. The middle schoolers are deepening their understanding of how writers make very specific word choices to build mood and evoke the readers’ emotions. We used a page of text from our novels (for Marionettes that’s The Fourteenth Goldfish and […]

Math: The Marionettes and Saplings started their week with unit reviews and check-ins. They then dove into their next units, geometry and probability, respectively. The Vroomshrooms started factoring quadratic functions in order to find roots this week. They ended the week with an activity where given a graph they had to write the vertex, standard, and factored form of the quadratic function. ELA: On Monday we discussed what’s happening in our novels and finished the idiom paintings we started last week. Tuesday we kicked off class with a quick write about their novels. Marionettes, a wise person once said, “Every
