Dear Families,

As this pandemic continues throughout our communities and the need for our students to continue their education, I am offering some resources to help with this objective.  Once we are able to return to traditional classes we will be taking a deep dive into Algebra for math and start working on simple machines, mechanical advantage and efficiency in physics.  The following lessons will help prepare you for these upcoming classes.

Links: Algebra 1, System of Equations https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/x2f8bb11595b61c86:systems-of-equations

Absolute Value and Piece Wise Functions https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/x2f8bb11595b61c86:absolute-value-piecewise-functions

Inequalities (systems & graphs) https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/x2f8bb11595b61c86:inequalities-systems-graphs

Physics,  Simple Machines  https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/discoveries/simple-machines-explorations/a/simple-machines-and-how-to-use-this-tutorial

Mechanical Advantage  https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/work-and-energy/mechanical-advantage/v/introduction-to-mechanical-advantage

I hope this helps in the passing of time in this unprecedented event and help you stay engaged with your school.  Stay healthy, wash your hands and I look forward o seeing you all very soon.

Homework: 
1. Create an Instagram Post on Canva. In 22 words (and a one word title), describe a scene--a place or experience--that you miss and appreciate that is not at the moment possible during quarantine. The title should reveal what this scene or place is, but the body of the writing should use language to show and not tell, to imply with details so readers can infer what is being described. 

2. Create a 1 minute video
Tell us, in as much detail as possible, about something that is different now. It should be something that you saw or experienced before quarantine and also saw or experienced now, during quarantine. Tell us about the major differences and why you think they are so different.
