Week 3

Hello!

It's April! Spring in the desert is very different than the Midwestern spring that I'm used to, but I do love sitting by the pool enjoying the recent sunny weather!

State Testing season is upon us as well. Our first AZ Merit test is this Tuesday. The entire schedule is: 
  • April 3 (Tuesday) - AZ Merit Writing 
  • April 20 (Friday) - AZ Merit Reading & Math Day 1
  • April 25 (Wednesday) - AZ Merit Reading & Math Day 2
Please make sure your child gets a good night of sleep the night before the test, and eats a healthy breakfast that morning. We want our students to do their best!

Our Spring Music Concert is this Thursday, April 5th. Here's some information about that from our amazing music teachers:

Academic Overview:

We will continue reading Carry On, Mr. Bowditch. There will be a vocabulary quiz on Chapters 1-6 on Wednesday. I expect to have time on Tuesday to review vocabulary words as a class. 

In math we will learn how to recognize and draw perpendicular and parallel lines.

This week in science, we will learn about the properties of magnets and do some demonstrations to show the magnetic field. At the end of the week, we will begin to see how magnetism and electricity are related.

This week in history we will learn about the years before the American Revolution and the events that would eventually spark the war. We will look at the French and Indian War, Proclamation of 1763, and the British taxes imposed on the colonies. 

Have a great week!
