Students will complete testing this week. For information about testing, see the previous blog post and visit the Archway main site. This week, we will continue lessons in all subjects except Riggs spelling.
In Language Arts, we will read chapters 10, 11, and 12 from The Little House on the Prairie. We plan to make covered wagons as an extension activity for the reading. Please send in pint sized milk cartons and/ or bottle caps from water or milk jugs. We need a total of 14 milk cartons and 108 bottle caps, so please send whatever you can! In writing, we are learning about descriptive writing and students will write a descriptive paragraph about their choice of topic by the end of the week.
In History, we are continuing to study the southern colonies. This week, we will learn about the Middle Passage, the Carolinas, Georgia, and John Oglethorpe. I am amazed by the questions and reflections of students in our discussions about such harsh topics as slavery. Students will have the opportunity to view the Jamestown murals created by their peers throughout the week.
Science this week will include reviewing concepts from the Science test and discussing the moon calendars.
- Watch for permission slips coming home this week about our upcoming field trip to the planetarium at the Science Center.
- Thank you for all your generous donations to our classroom auction basket for Fine Arts Night (April 30th).
- We are in need of tissues and disinfecting wipes in the classroom. If you can send some with your child, it would be appreciated!
As always, please email me with any questions or concerns.
Yours In Learning,
Ms. Headrick
