Hello Parents!
Here we are at the middle of the last quarter of the year. AZMerit is now a thing of the past and we can finish our year strong together. In May we will have a few activities planned on Wednesdays that embrace the spirit of "schole," or the leisure and joy of learning. Please be on the lookout for more communications on that soon! Our upcoming 4 day weekend is R&R, I wish you all a happy and relaxing break.
A Look in the Classroom
- Language Arts: We will have a 20 word spelling list due to the short week. Grammar will consist of a close review of parts of speech and a look ahead to the diagramming skills that they will see next year. We are still enjoying The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as Aslan teaches Edmund (and us!) about forgiveness.
- Math: We will continue our study of the metric system, culminating in a quiz on centimeters, meters, and kilometers on Thursday. Look out for a “Test B” packet to help students prepare! Friday is Field Trip Day, which means we will have a relatively short lesson reviewing length in yards, feet, and inches.
- History: Students will learn about the Starving Time - the most difficult period in Jamestown’s early history, which was soon followed by a surge of prosperity. We will also discuss the true story of Pocahontas, and work on an in-class mural of Jamestown’s founding and settling.
- Science: This week we will be diving into the Earth, Moon, and Sun system. We will discuss the relationships between these three important objects and how we experience day/night and years here on Earth!
