Augustan Newsletter

Social Studies by Joshua WhitleyThis October in Social Studies we will study physical features, landforms, and landmarks.

Math by Katlyn JonesIn math we will be learning about multiplying and dividing fractions and decimals. Multiplying fractions is easy and fun! You‘re not actually multiplying anything, you’re dividing. Make sure you always double check your work. If you make a mistake that means try a little harder the next time. Math is an important thing you do in everyday life. So make sure you try your hardest at whatever you do.

Language Arts by Brea RodriguezWhat are we doing in language arts?We are reading the class book The Cay. What is going to happen next? Don't forget to turn in your row on Wednesdays. No one wants a detention for not turning it in. We are also starting WordlyWise Vocab. Our first test is Oct 15th. Make sure to use Mrs. Christian’s website for the vocabulary websites to help you study. Have you gotten the 20 AR points  for extra credit this 6 weeks? Those points will add points to your lowest grade in any class as long as you tell the teacher. We are also working on our plot maps! Remember all 5 (Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, Resolution). I hope you have had a great 6 weeks so far.

Congratulations to these 6A students who made the Newsletter Staff. These students will be creating the Augustan Newsletter each six weeks with the help of Mrs. Christian.

Lunar Eclipse by Joshua WhitleyLast month on the 27th there was an jaw dropping lunar eclipse in the night sky at around 9:45 p.m. It could be clearly seen from Amarillo. The Earth was blocking sunlight from reaching the moon that’s why there was a shadow on that night giving the moon a red tint.
