Spring break is almost
over! Please remember that we return on Tuesday!
The fourth quarter has
arrived! It is hard to believe that in just two months, the inaugural school
year for Archway Classical Academy Arete will end. There is still much work to
be done here in fourth grade.
This quarter is full of
fun and exciting material. In history, we will complete our unit on the
American Revolution. After that, is a unit on the creation of the United States
Constitution, followed by a unit on early American Presidents.
In science, students
will learn about the circulatory system and respiratory system. There will be
many exciting experiments and activities, including a pig heart dissection!
Students still take the science AIMS in April and the year will end with
science projects!
In Language Arts,
students will complete Carry on Mr. Bowditch and move into the The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I invite you to come in and watch a discussion. In
grammar, students will extend their understanding of sentence diagramming.
Students will write pen pal letters to other fourth graders attending Archway
Classical Academy Chandler.
In math students will
master decimals, multiplying and dividing them. Then, they will move into
volume, weight, congruent shapes, and data analysis.
There is a lot to
accomplish! This promises to be an exciting quarter.
