Because we have half days this week, our schedule will be modified. We are taking a break from Spalding and will start our new Literature unit next week.
Math: Right before break we took a quiz over the material we have covered thus far in Unit 2. We will finish up the this unit with long division this week and will take a Unit 2 test on Thursday. We will be having math groups on Wednesday, so please let me know if you would like to help with these.
Grammar: We are continuing our study of diagramming sentences with prepositional phrases this week. There will be a short quiz on Wednesday to assess our knowledge. Students should not need to study for this, as we have spent a large amount of class time on this.
Science: The class did a great job on their element projects. This week we will be learning how elements bond. Tomorrow we will be assigning the class to make flash cards for the 30 most common elements, there will be a quiz over the element and it's symbol next Tuesday.
History: We will be finishing our Ancient Civilizations unit this week. A study guide went home today for homework and we will be going over this in class tomorrow. The test will be on Thursday. Next week we will begin our new unit on the Renaissance.
Announcements
There are few new clubs starting!
- Is your child interested in learning a new instrument? Does your child already play an instrument? The Arete Prep Beginning Orchestra, Beginning Band and Intermediate Orchestra clubs are excited to invite your students to join us! Students have the unique opportunity to meet twice per week with the teacher: once as a full group and again with similar instruments to work on more specific technical aspects of playing. Students will also have the opportunity to perform several times throughout the year. The fee is $40 and this pays for their music, books, and other miscellaneous communal supplies. Students will need to rent or purchase their own instruments (Milano’s in Mesa is an excellent resource). The clubs will start back up after Parent-Teacher conferences on October 19th. Please contact Mrs. Lynch if you are interested or have any questions!
