Thank you all for your contributions and support of our very successful Medieval Faire! Your children out did themselves in their efforts! I hope you had a chance to hear about the fun that was had by all!
Our Field Trip to Agecroft Hall is this Wednesday, the 18th! Students need to bring a bagged lunch with a drink. We will be eating in the classroom when we return to school from the trip. No electronic devices are allowed!
This week:
Reading-Urchin of The Riding Stars, book one in The Mistmantle Chronicles, was assigned last week. This animal allegory will take our class on a journey of mystery, intrique, and strong character attributes. We will focus on literary elements in our reading. Our last HRP of the marking period is due on Thursday. Next Friday, the 27th students will choose keys to see who will unlock the treasure chest!
Writing-Hobby Fair narratives have been started. Students are focusing on openings, closings, avoiding misspelled words, double negatives, and run-on sentences.
Word study-We assess last week's words on Tuesday, the 17. The new list will be assessed on Friday, the 20th.
Math- Assessment on Thursday. Geometry is the focus with a concentration on triangles and quadrilaterals.
Science-The question of why the ocean is salty will be answered this week. We will also learn about tides and the Gulf Stream. Quiz on the Ocean floor is on Tuesday.
Social Studies-Background knowledge will be built about World War 1. Medieval Test is next week.
