Dear 3C Families,
We have a fun week coming up with Field Day on Friday! See the link below to sign up to help: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0b4daeaa2da0fb6-field
Great Hearts Day is fast approaching! Please read the note below for some basic information, more to come!
A Day for Friendship - Wednesday, February 14th is Great Hearts Day! We have reserved this special day to focus on the virtue of friendship and celebrate the traits that make a great-hearted student. Teachers are planning interactive and fun activities centered around these topics, and time will be set aside for students to create hand-made Great Hearts Day cards for their classmates. Archway Arete strives to cultivate a rich, academic environment rooted in the classical tradition. This many times requires popular culture to be left at the door. On that note, students will not be permitted to bring store-bought valentines, candy, or gifts to school. Thank you for partnering with us.
Here is what is on the agenda for this week:
Language Arts:
We will continue reading the Trumpet of the Swan this week, deepen our understanding of prepositions, and complete our Informative piece on the Titanic. Father William by Lewis Carroll should be memorized for recitations in Feb.7th.
Math:
We will wrap up our fractions unit this week with lessons on fractions on a numberline, fractions of a set, and fractions of money! The assessment on Friday will include all of the skills learned this week, as well as adding and subtracting fractions.
Science:
This week we will begin our unit on light! This will include learning the main source if light here on Earth (the sun!), experimenting with shadows, and discussing different properties of light.
History:
We will begin with our Earliest Americans unit this week! We will look at how the ancient peoples found it possible to migrate using the Beringia Land Bridge. We will also see how the first settlers farmed, hunted, and gathered.
Please reach out with any questions!
Best,
Mrs. Bowers
