This Week in 3B

Hello, Families!

I hope you enjoyed your long weekend. I was able to go and visit Montezuma Castle this weekend and I am greatly looking forward to sharing the awe-inspiring experience with the children on Tuesday. 

Language Arts: We will continue to understand theme as a deeper message within a text as shown by the plot and the main idea. We will read chapters 10 and 11 in The Wise Woman. In writing, we will finish up our persuasive essays. In grammar, we will review and practice our newly-acquired knowledge of helping verbs, the adverb not, and inverted-order sentences. 

Science: We will continue to study sound as an energy that travels in waves and vibrates particles. 

History: We will continue our study of Ancient Americans. This week we will focus on more recent tribes, as opposed to the ancestral focus of last week (Paleoindians, Anasazi & Mound Builders). We will study tribes by regions--including the Southwest, Southeast, and Eastern tribes. On Friday, students will be sent home with information about dioramas and the tribe project. These two assignments go hand-in-hand, as students will work with a partner to guide themselves through a focused study of one of the many Earliest American tribes. Details will be sent home with your child on Friday.

Pencils are on our classroom wish list--if you remember and can afford the time/money, please send your child with pencils to school!

Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns.

Yours In Learning,

Ms. Headrick
