March 25, 2012


Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I look forward to seeing all of you at Open House on Thursday, April 5th. Your children have worked hard all year and are excited to show you all they have done. 

Upcoming events:
1. Language Arts:  We have been writing Persuasive essays.  We have written two already on Uniforms and a Desired Gift.  We will be writing our third and final in the next week.  We are continuing to read Toliver’s Secret as well as Theme 3 RevolutionaryTimes in our Literature Reader. We will complete this theme by Spring Break.

2.  Social Studies:  We are starting Chapter 10 The Tension Between Colonists and the British.

Revolutionary War Hero:  Your child was asked to choose a war hero and write a short summary of their life (paragraph 1) and then why they are a Revolutionary War Hero (paragraph 2).  It is supposed to be short, about a page long. Then they are to create a puppet of their hero holding one item that represents them.

3. Science In science, we are studying the Periodic table and the different elements.  We have complete the unit on Mixtures and Solutions and will have our final test this Wednesday.

4. We have a field trip to the Los Altos History House on Thursday at 9:00. So we will need to leave at 8:30 and will be back by 11.
