Our Vision for 2021
Our vision for the 2020-21 school year is to provide an environment for students (although virtual) that is rigorous yet calm so that our students anxiety about virtual learning is not heightened. Gives rise to a culture of care so that our students know that we care about them and their education. We also want to show that we understand that the state of our nation at this time has brought about many uncertainties (even loss) that have impacted them and their families.
We want our teachers to be and model accountability to the new normal so that our students will be able to adapt and do the same. We want to collaborate around the things we need to learn and do as we move through this remote learning season, and we want to be consistent so that all of our stakeholders will be able to rely on us as well as further develop a trusting relationship with us knowing that we are here together with them although we are apart.

Explain that we use will in front of a verb to talk about the future. Review the rule for past tense verbs. Then remind students that future tense verbs will tell what will happen in the future. They use wiil before the verb. Explain that tomorrow, tomorrow night, next week, next year or next summer are examples of time expressions we use with future tense. Math- Solving problems with coin lesson 8-2 and 8-3 Social Studies: Landforms (mountains and valleys) Science: How sound travels?

Discuss character traits and character motivation 7th - Reading: “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” & related poems Skills: inferences, analyzing the theme and the plot, summarizing what we have read. Discuss character traits and character motivation 8th - Reading: “Monster” & related poems Skills: inferences, analyzing the theme and the plot, summarizing what we have read. Discuss character traits and character motivation 6th - 8th: Current Events - Cnn10 (Watch, write and or review for discussion sessions) Social Justice Project (Studying key figures that have made a contribution to society through a social justice cause. I.e. Biography Studies on Roberto Clemente, and Arthur Ashe. Activities include short videos, Anchor text and slides, Quizzes that focus on important learning objectives such as finding the main message, making inferences and learning new vocabulary words. Student Response sheets that ask students to think beyond the text. Comprehension Activity sheets that include the following; ○ Analyzing a Biography ○ Cause-Effect ○ What’s the message? ○ Using Context Clues to Learn New Words ○ Learning New Words Supplemental resources such as nearpod and newsela will be incorporated to build background and provide extended opportunities to meet the required standards for each grade level. 6th Students will focus on Metabolism: Exploring the Classroom Body System Model. Warm-Up By observing the path that oxygen takes through the body, students focus on the systems involved in this transport, which prepares them for the model used in this lesson. Introducing the Classroom Body Systems Model Students are introduced to the components and purpose of the physical model in order to ensure that it runs smoothly. (Teacher Only) Playing Body Systems Model Video A realistic animation helps students visualize some of the processes and structures represented in their model. Running the Model As students assume the roles of human body systems and cells, they experience kinesthetically how the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems work together to transport molecules to the body's cells. Debriefing the Model Small-group and whole-class discussions allow students to reflect on the model and what they learned from the experience. The teacher uses this opportunity as an On-the-Fly Assessment of students' engagement with the crosscutting concept of Systems and System Models Homework Students revisit the healthy body in the Metabolism Simulation to observe the roles of the different body systems. 7th Students are learning about Plate Motion: Analyzing Patterns at Plate Boundaries. Warm-Up Students articulate what they think about the relationship between earthquakes and plate motion. Simulating Earthquakes Using the Plate Motion Sim, students gather evidence to support or refute the claim they selected in the Warm-Up. Modeling a Plate Boundary Students demonstrate their understanding of how earthquake patterns are related to plate boundaries by creating a model depicting this relationship along the plate boundary between Africa and South America. The teacher uses this opportunity as an On-the-Fly Assessment of students’ understanding of what plates are and that plates can move. Considering the Mesosaurus Exhibit Students consider two competing claims about the unit’s central mystery (how did the Mesosaurus fossils get so far apart?). Homework Students explain their thinking about the evidence they have gathered so far. Self-Assessment Students check their understanding of important content in the unit, and are given a chance to reflect on additional questions they have about why the fossils of Mesosaurus that once lived together are found in different locations on Earth now. 8th Students are exploring Magnetic Fields Warm-Up Students observe how a compass responds to a magnetic field in the Magnetic Fields Simulation. Rereading “Earth’s Geomagnetism” Students reread a section of the article to help them gather evidence about how magnetic field lines may help predict whether magnets will attract each other, repel each other, or both. Exploring Field Lines Students learn how field lines can help them predict magnet behavior by exploring the Simulation. Modeling Magnetic Field Lines Students revise their previous models in the Attracting and Repelling Magnets Modeling Tool to show their understanding of the shape of magnetic field lines Homework Students have an opportunity to extend their understanding of non-contact forces as they read about electric fields and forces. ALL Middle School Science Students will research and learn about science careers. The directions and rubric will be released at the end of the instructional week.
