Mid-quarter 1 Updates

 Below you will find updates for our Team Legacy core courses. Hope you are enjoying the great weekend weather!


ELA: 
We are nearing the end Ground Zero. Students are working on chapters 23-32 and completing the corresponding reading guide questions.   

 

Students have received a mid-quarter grade based on their reading guides. These grades can be found in PowerSchool. If your student does not have grades, please encourage them to complete the reading guide through chapter 14 and turn it in to me for their grade.  

 

I have attached the checklist and important dates document below. All students have received a paper copy and can find the document in the Learn folder. These assignments should be completed by the end of the day on October 10th when the Learn folder is due.  


Math: 
Learners are taking the Chapter 1 test on Wednesday, 10/2. Concepts covered include adding and subtracting integers with the support of a model and using proportional reasoning to solve proportions and ratios. 

 

We will also begin Chapter 2 later in the week. Take a look at the Tools and Topics Newsletter provided by CPM to give you an overview of the next chapter's content. 

The calendar of assignments and activities for the next week include:
