Week 5 Update

Hello!

I hope you all had a relaxing 3-day weekend! I decided to be adventurous and climb Flatiron with a friend. I think I'll be sore all week!

Here are some important dates to keep in mind:

  • Thursday, November 16th - Mandatory Winter Concert - 3-5 grades preform at 7:00 (There will be no homework given on Thursday)
  • Wednesday-Friday, November 22-24 - No school, Thanksgiving Break

The Lincoln Winter Concert is this Thursday. This is a mandatory concert. This year, the concerts will be held at the Higley Center for the Performing Arts located at 4132 E. Pecos Road Gilbert, AZ 85295. The 3-5 grade concert will begin at 7:00 p.m. with students arriving at 6:30 p.m.

The attire for concerts will be as follows:

  • Boys: Black pants, white dress shirt, black dress shoes, and black socks. Hair should be combed neatly.
  • Girls: Black skirt, white top, black tights, and black dress shoes. Hair should be pulled away from the face with no distracting adornment. Please follow the Archway Lincoln dress code for guidelines on jewelry.


I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there and hearing the selections the students have been working on!

Academics this week:

We will start our unit on Robin Hood with a discussion about legends, myths, folklore, and fairy tales. We will tie this into writing summaries on short passages about King Arthur. We will also work on the skill of prediction using Robin Hood. In Grammar, we continue to practice classifying and diagramming prepositional phrases.

Reading Logs did not go home this week. The students will have 20 minute a day independent reading this week, since we have the Fall Concert.

This week in math, we will learn how to find the fraction of a set. This concept involves multiplying fractions by a whole number and a lot of simplifying fractions, so if your child is still working on those concepts, they will get a lot of practice this week!

This week in science, the students will continue learning about air pressure and density. On Friday, the students will understand the characteristics of the layers in the atmosphere. The first meteorology test is on Thursday.

In history this week, we will continue our unit on the Middle Ages. We will focus on famous individuals during the period and how they shaped the society they lived in, and future generations. Historical figures we will focus on include William the Conqueror, Henry II and Thomas Becket.

Have a great week
