We are reading "A Wrinkle in Time" and have read through Chapter 9 this week. Students are assigned pages and should make sure to have those pages read at home to be prepared for discussion each day.

Please ensure that your student has access to a copy. The version we will be referencing for page numbers and using in class has ISBN number 9780312367541.

        **This is a "Classics to Keep" book. Each student should have their own copy to read from and annotate in.

Hello Spartan Family!

We are reviewing the key concepts we've covered throughout the year and will continue to practice utilizing what we've learned from word problems and multiplication/division to fractions, decimals, and conversions. 

Sincerely,

Mr. Dorazio

We are looking at the biosphere and the ways all living things interact together on Earth. Specifically, we will continue learning about animal classification and how it is used.
