2/26-3/2

Language Arts:
We will pick spelling back up this week with our normal test on Friday. We are currently memorizing “Dream Variations” by Langston Hughes and the recitation will be on Mar. 7. With writing and grammar we are working with the opinion genre and the class will be working on a literature focused essay. If your child still has not brought in a copy of The Little Prince, please make sure to send it in this week!

Math:
This week we will be learning area.  Students will first be introduced to the concept of area and then we will get into the equation to solve area problems for rectangles.  We are building up to our lessons on areas of composite figures.  

Science:
In Science we will be continuing our Ecology unit.  We will be discussing types of organisms, the role of the sun, types of consumers, and food chains.

History: This week we will learn about the Early Spanish Explorers. We will see how Ponce de Leon tried to search for the fountain of youth and about how Christopher Columbus established a colony! Students will also learn about the search for El Dorado! Be prepared for some interesting and fun conversations!

Planet Project Update

Hello Families! Today was research day for our planet project and the students had a little over an hour to research information about their assigned planet. Many scholars were able to find plenty of information and fill up the research sheet, however there are also many scholars that could benefit from some additional help. We will be using this information to write an essay later this week, so it is important that they have enough information written on their research sheet. We used these websites: National Geographic and  Nasa . If you are able, help your student to peruse these sites for details about their assigned planet and fill in the information on their research sheet. Thank you so much for your support! Please feel free to reach out with any questions Mrs. Arnold LArnold@ArchwayArete.org
