Families please join us on Friday, June 8th if possible

Hello Tucana Families! We cannot believe the end of the year is upon us! It has been a pleasure to work with each and every one of your students. We will be hosting a final Learning Celebration this Friday, June 8th. We would like to invite you to attend Team Tucana's Futurist Convention on Friday from 8-9:50am. This convention will include the products created by students during our Futurology unit. Students studied the past and present trends of a topic of their choosing, and used that information to create a prediction of how that topic will be different in the future. Students will explain their predictions and justify those claims using evidence from the past and present. The convention will take place in rooms 209, 210, and 213. You are invited to attend for any portion of time, whether that be for 15 minutes on your way to work or if you'd like to stay for the entire convention to see the work of all our students. We hope to see you then!

May 31st Tucana math
We are working on an integrated unit, Futurology, were the students are expected to bring learning from each subject to the project they are choosing. Please talk with them about the project and what they would like to present.

Students in both grades have been given time to correct assessments given on May 18th.  These are now in Power School.  If you student has a raw score of less than 85 points I suggest they do corrections.

We are also working with rational numbers and I will be asking students to work with me.

7th Grade Students- received back their scored Ecoscenario projects.  Parents/Guardians should ask their son or daughter to see the rubric.  Students can make corrections and improve their scores.  They also received back a quiz today called Midsummative 8.  Students can make corrections on this as well.
