We ended last week on a high note-field day! Our class tied Mrs. Stapleton's class for the gold. It was so much fun to watch the students compete, encourage each other, and have fun! Thank you to everyone who came out to encourage our class and help out; it was wonderful to see everyone cheering on 3C!
This week is a four day week with no school on Friday. Teachers have professional development that day.
I know the Archway Arete newsletter announcing Coach Rubino's resignation came out on Friday, and you may be wondering how this will affect our class. Mrs. Mathot has agreed to stay on with us for the remainder of the year. She has been doing an excellent job and we are excited to have her remaining with us! In addition we will still receive some additional support from Ms. Warren who will be teaching Literature and helping us out on Tuesday afternoons; and of course we look forward to seeing her in PE every week!
See below for a look at the week ahead:
Language Arts:
We will complete the Trumpet of the Swan this week and students may take it home on Thursday. Please be prepared with The Little Prince by next Monday. Father William by Lewis Carroll should be memorized for recitations in Feb.7th! Students will be typing their latest piece of writing this Tuesday and there will be a prepositions quiz on Thursday. Their goal is to have the entire list memorized! The spelling test will be on Thursday too, to accommodate the short week.
Math:
This week we will begin our unit on time! We will begin with telling time, converting hours and minutes, and word problems with time.
Science:
We will continue our unit on light. This week we will focus on lenses and refraction, as well as color! The students will have the opportunity to get their hands on convex and concave lenses and mirrors to experience these materials first hand.
History:
We will continue with our Earliest Americans unit this week! We will look at where the Anasazi people lived. We will also learn how they built mounds to live on and cliff dwellings. We will also compare the Navajo and Hopi tribes.
Best,
Mrs. Bowers
