This week’s class motto is: Be Confident

Each week we will discuss a class motto. This week we will discuss confidence. We will discuss how the students can show confidence in their attitude, ability, and overall performance. We will temper this with humility, of course.

The next two weeks in class:

History: Students will explore the shift in power in government in the late Middle Ages and consider the role of the Magna Carta and the rule of King John in this shift. 

Science:  During week 3, students will conclude their study of Arizona biomes and the life science unit. Students should spend time nightly studying for the unit assessment. Students will then begin their study of meteorology by learning about the water cycle during week 4.

Language Arts: This week in Language Arts students will read more about the adventures of Robin Hood and his merry band of outlaws. In Grammar, the focus turns to diagramming of pronouns. Spalding will bring more words and more markings.  

Math: Students will begin working on fractions. There will be nightly homework.
