All classes: We are wrapping up a unit on simplifying radicals and the solving equations with radicals. I am very impressed with the number of students stepping it up to power through the work!

We will complete our engineering lab this week. In this lab students are creating three different vertical wind turbines mock ups. They will try to generate at least 240 millivolts of electricity at high wind speeds created by a fan. Towards the end of the week look forward to seeing your child's design on Seesaw. We will have our final test on this unit on Monday next week. There is a review sheet posted on Google Classroom.

Next week, we will look at Immigration to the United States in the early 1900s. We will then examine the changes that were made in the United States during the Progressive Era (the early 1900s) and the United States involvement in World War I.
