Quarter 4, Week 1

Dear 3C Parents,

Thank you all so much for the wonderful class gifts I received as an early birthday present on Friday.  I am so appreciative and looking forward to a relaxing pedicure and delicious Pita Jungle! 

I can not believe the 4^th quarter is upon us.  There are many exciting units in the 4^th quarter, including some of my favorites: Space, 13 Colonies, and our novel “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”.  I hope your students are all enjoying a relaxing week off!  Please reach out with any comments or questions.

Best,

Mrs. Bowers

A Look in the Classroom

1.    Language Arts: We will start quarter 4 with a review of the different parts of speech we have learned so far; there will be 20 spelling words. We will continue in our Adventures of Isabel with our recitation being at the end of March. We will step into the wardrobe together as we start enjoying the last (and best!) book of the year. Please be sure to send your scholar to school with his or her copy of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

2.    History: Moving on from early explorers of the Americas, we will start a small unit on the different peoples who first originated the continent. We will start with how humans originally came the continent, then start learning about different tribes.

3.    Math: We will have a review of our chapters on area and perimeter this week as we prepare for AzMERIT. Look out for worksheets coming home for homework this week; we will resume work in the workbooks in week 2.

4.    Science: This quarter we are going to be learning all about outer space! It is going to be a very fun and exciting unit. The students will be bringing home instructions for their science project on Wednesday. Please read them over and return the project proposal, letting us know your child’s topic by Friday, March 24th. This week in class we will be learning about the big bang theory as well as the structure and composition of the universe.
