Dear Parents, AZMerit testing is here, and your students may be feeling some stress at the moment, however they have no reason to fear. Remind them that they have been preparing for this test all year, and that no matter how they do, no test is a measure of their true value. Make sure they get good sleep, a good breakfast, and good encouragement! When we finish tests next week, I highly encourage taking them out and celebrating their efforts. They have earned it! This Week...History - Preparing for War We are very excited to get back to our History Curriculum. We return to the Second Continental Congress petitioning the King all while creating their own Continental Army. Scholars will also understand the importance of the pamphlet written by Thomas Paine known as “Common Sense” in conjunction with the creation of the Declaration of Independence. Science - AIMS This week we will be taking the AIMS science test! We have been working hard up to this point! Your students will take a practice test on Monday and the AIMS exam on Wednesday. Math - What’s in a line? We are quickly learning so many different things about lines and shapes this week. Scholars already learned the basic concept of what constitutes perpendicular lines last week. This week we travel through parallel lines and learn about how those lines begin to create shapes. Literature - The Princess and the Goblin In Literature,we continue reading The Princess and the Goblin. We will explore what happens to Curdie and the Realm of the Miners. Lyceum - The Beauty of the Fraction This week in Lyceum will continue reviewing multiplying and dividing mixed numbers. Scholars will still benefit by their daily review of their math facts in all mathematical facts. Help your scholars by having them review their math fact flash cards.
