PICTURE RETAKE DAY

Nov. 1st is picture retake day. Email Mrs. Harris if your child needs retakes: aharris@archwaychandler.org.


This week we will study the following:

Language Arts: Students will continue to read Robin Hood. This book fits in nicely with the current history unit.

Students will get to work on Chapter 5 of their GYV book. In grammar, they will begin formulating stronger sentences. There is a grammar test on Friday.


Science: The unit on meteorology really takes off this week as students look at the atmosphere and research the different layers. They will also learn about air pressure.



History: Europe in the Middle Ages continues with a look at some famous people of the times, including Hildegaard of Bingen, Christine de Pisan, William the Conqueror, Henry II, and Thomas Becket.
