E.E. Week

We had such an amazing trip to Camp Seymour last week.  Thank you so much for all your support during the planning phase of the trip.  The success of our week is due in large part to you!

If you sent medication to camp, you can pick it up in the front office this week.  I am happy to report that, except for cream for bug bites, none of the over the counter medication was used.  Also, if you drove to and from camp, but still have the children’s emergency forms, I need those back.

Curriculum Notes

Religion: Students are expected to have their Joyful Mysteries assignment completed and saved to the school’s network by Wednesday.  We are also working on reflective poems to send to the naturalists at Camp Seymour.

 

Science: This week we will be processing our experience at EE week. We will be reflecting on and making observations of what we learned about nature, ourselves, and others. We will also begin to make connections from the classes at EE week to the topics we have been covering in class.

 

Math:  We are finishing up chapter two this week, and will take the test on Friday.  The class did very well on the mid-chapter quiz.  It was handed back today, and will be a wonderful study aide for this week’s test.

 

Literature:  The Literature Poster Project is due on Wednesday.  Final copies of the special object paragraph are due on Thursday.

This week we will read and discuss “In Two Worlds.”  We will skip the end of the unit assessment due to the half day on Friday.

 

Social Studies: This week we will talk about New France and New England (chapter five, lessons two and three).  The chapter five vocabulary quiz will be on Friday, and the chapter test will be next Tuesday.  The vocabulary assignment was handed back today to use in studying for the quiz.  Study guides for the chapter test will be handed out tomorrow.
