CONFERENCES

This week, I will send out the signup genius for the mandatory 1st semester conferences. This will be a great time of discussion about your child. Please start thinking of any questions you may have.


PLEASE order The Magician’s Nephew:  http://astore.amazon.com/archclasacadc-20


We are in need of the following supplies: tissues, whiteboard erasers, lined loose-leaf paper



This week we will study the following:




Language Arts: Students will write an expository essay. This will be a great opportunity for students to work on paragraph structure, word connections, and improvement in vocabulary.

Science: This exciting unit on meteorology continues this week as students will learn about tornadoes and hurricanes. I will share some experiences from storm chasing and students will see the destruction that is possible from these powerful storms.


History: We continue our study on China. I have brought in some extra information and detailed stories for the students. This is a quick unit, but the students should exit with a small understanding of some of the major dynasties.
