We will begin making our book! We will review what a sentence needs. We will continue reading groups to improve reading fluency.

    I'm excited to share with you that our students will be starting a new writing project that will turn them into real, published authors!

    Throughout this project, your student is going to learn how to write, edit, illustrate and create a book that will be a treasured keepsake for years to come. I know you will be so proud of the effort and work put into this by your child!

We will be learning more about water this week and how it is useful, and where we can find it.

When people hear the phrase classical education, they often immediately think of literature and history—reading great books, studying ancient civilizations, and discussing ideas from the past. Classical education is not limited to the humanities.

At its core, classical education is not about simply giving students information. Instead, it focuses on teaching students how to think, reason, and communicate clearly. Rather than simply memorizing answers, students learn to understand the process behind the answer and explain their reasoning. We discuss how there are multiple ways to arrive at the same answer. In a classical approach, however, the thinking process matters just as much as the final answer. 

We will have Science this week. 

For April 6th we will recite "Wind on the Hill" by A. A. Milne.  The saying is "April showers bring May flowers". We will also recite in the classroom on these days for a test grade.

We will recite as a class April 6th. You are welcome to come in the gym to watch them recite! Please make sure to park in the parking lot in front of the playground.

May 4th will be our last recitation. We will recite "Sing a song of six pence" and  the saying will be "Look before you leap."

In literature this week, scholars will learn what a story element is and how they can learn to recognize it in the books they read.  

Watch out for binders being sent home periodically. Please sign and return.

If you have any questions about the assessments please reach out!

A calendar will be sent in the red take home folder. Please look at your child's color daily and initial on it so I know you saw it. If the color is below green I will use a code to explain why. The codes are on the bottom of the calendar and explain the situation. If the child went home on red I will give you a call or email. If it becomes a recurring situation where the student goes home below green we will set up a meeting.

If homework is not completed by the morning it is due the child will start their day on yellow on the color chart.
