Hello families, hope you all had a wonderful three-day weekend and are ready to return with gusto tomorrow!
A few notes:
I. Grandparent's Day
Grandparent's Day is this Friday, September 8, here at Arete. Grandparents will be invited to school, participate in an all-school assembly, and then visit our classroom for a brief activity. I'm looking forward to it!
Students whose grandparents are unable to attend will honor them with cards.
The assembly is scheduled for 9:15-10:00am (3-5th grades) in the gymnasium. Please RSVP to Joy Whitehead at (480) 222-4233 x 2110. Be sure to include your grandchild’s name and grade when you RSVP to help us reserve your seat next to your grandchild.
III. This week in Class:
History: This week in history, students will complete their maps of European countries. We will then proceed to a brief two-week unit on the Eastern Romance Empire. Topics to be discussed with include the Byzantine Empire, Justinian and Theodora, and the Hagia Sophia.
Science: Students will take the information they gathered from the lab and apply it to a new lab. The goal is that they come to understand the differences between insulators and conductors. By the end of the week, students should grasp the concept of series circuits, and the flow of electrons.
Language Arts: In Grammar, students will deepen their understanding of sentence classification and sentence diagramming. Students will be able to use adverbs and adjectives properly in sentences. In Literature, the Princess and the Goblin plot will thicken as Curdie discovers the plot hatched by the Cobs. Will Princess Irene fall into danger? In Spalding, students will copy, mark, and memorize approximately thirty additional words.
Math: Students will go through a final week of review in multiplication and division before starting a unit on order of operations.
