This week’s class motto is: Organization is the Key!

Each week we will discuss a class motto. The next two weeks, as well as the entire year, are spent working on organizational plans. Desks are organized a specific way, folders are organized, and backpacks are neat. Organization is a skill that can lead to success.

This week in Class:

History: Students will take a closer look at the lives of knights and the role of cities and guilds during the Middle Ages. They will also participate in Chivalry week--this is a fun week full of activities in which they explore the importance of community and honor during the Middle Ages.

Science:   During the last week of quarter one, students will take a closer look at the flower with consideration of the plant's life cycle and plant reproduction. Students will do a plant dissection toward the end of the week. 

Language Arts:  This week in Language Arts students will write an opinion essay. In Literature, students will read Emil and the Detectives. This is a wonderful story. This is a read aloud and students are not required to have a copy of their own. In Spalding there will be more words and more markings.

Math:  Students will continue the unit on order of operations and then move into multiplication and division.
