Headlines 11/18

It was so nice to see everyone's rested smiles yesterday!  Although it was a half day, we accomplished quite a bit and are enjoying all of the science presentations.

Our conferences have been going very well, and I love having the opportunity to get to know your families.  I look forward to seeing the rest of you this week! Due to conferences, we have half days today, tomorrow, and Thursday, and there is no school on Friday or Monday. 

ELA
In grammar we will be competing a final review of compound elements in sentences.  We will take a diagramming quiz over these concepts on Thursday.  

Because of our shortened schedule we will take a break from literature and will continue our read aloud if time permits.  Our next literature study will be Where the Red Fern Grows.  Please begin bringing these to school this week, as we will begin reading on Tuesday.

We will also take a break from Greek and Latin roots as well as Spalding this week.

Science
We are excited to see the hard work that our scholars have put forth on their science presentations this week!

History
This week, students will begin learning about the Renaissance. Students will focus on artisans becoming artists and the powerful Medici family.

Math
We are continuing our study of fractions this week.  We will begin by recognizing fractions in word problems and then will move on to addition and subtraction with unlike denominators. We will have our regularly scheduled math groups on Wednesday.
