Scholars of the month
Important Information
- Students who do not complete their homework will have to complete their homework during recess on the day the homework is due.
- Scholars can receive a recess detention as a consequence for continual actions that distract from the learning environment during school. This is an opportunity for scholars to spend time reflecting on how to make good choices that will help them be successful here at Great Hearts. Parents will be notified before the detention is served.
- Please make sure your scholar has his or her own copy of Shane (ISBN- 978-0-544-23947-0) B&M scholars bring their books on Monday March 15th. This is very important as we are asking students to annotate in their own texts.
- Please have your scholar bring a locker shelf to help with organization of materials and to make for quicker visits.
- Please place a cover on all textbooks (Math and Biology) ASAP. These are required.
- Uniform infractions will be issued for scholars in violation of the GH uniform policy.
What's coming up?
Literature
In Literature this week, scholars have begun to read our next novel, Shane. They are being introduced to the beautiful Wyoming Territory and the struggles of those who became homesteaders. As a reminder, scholars should be reading nightly and annotating their text to have a deeper understanding to engage in a dynamic discussion during Literature class.
MathWe spent the first two days reviewing Statistics for the test on Wednesday. On Thursday, we started Integers. We focused on negative numbers and number lines on that day.
Next week, we will continue with integers. We will learn how to add, subtract and multiply integers.
