I hope you have all had a wonderful spring break with your wonderful children! I was able to visit my family in California and my mom threw me a beautiful wedding shower.
I am so excited for the 4th quarter. We have some wonderful things to learn about, read, and discuss! I just can't believe that the 4th quarter is here and that I only have nine more weeks with your children until I have to send them off to 4th grade. I am getting a little bit sad just thinking about it! It has been a fantastic first year at Archway Arete so far. I am so thankful to be part of such a wonderful community!
If you are able to send in hand sanitizer, tissues, and/or pencils they would be greatly appreciated!! Below is a summary of what we will be doing in the first week of the quarter.
Best,
Ms. Caro
Language Arts:
In Spalding we will have a 20 word list. We will be spending Literature reviewing Fairy Tales in preparation for our The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe unit that starts week 2; please send your scholars to school with their copy.
History:
This week we will be wrapping up our unit on explorers. Students will learn more about the Spanish mission system and revolts. In addition we will discuss the expeditions of John Cabot, Henry Hudson, and Samuel de Champlain. We will not have an assessment on this short unit and will jump right into the thirteen colonies in week 2 of the quarter!
Math:
The fourth quarter begins with a consideration of time. Students will be observing analog clocks, converting between minutes and hours, and solving problems involving time. Students may enjoy sharing what they are learning by solving some time problems in the car on the way to school or on the way home.

Science:
We are excited to start our study of astronomy. During this unit, students will be challenged to reconsider some of the things they know and journey through the centuries to discover how scientist proved what we often take for granted. During week one, we will ask ourselves what is moving. Students often know the truth, but fail to understand why. From our perspective, we don't feel like we are moving. So how we do we know that we aren't the center of the universe? Later in the week we will consider why we experience days and seasons.
