on Thursday. Please be prepared with The Little Prince by next Monday. Father William
by Lewis Carroll should be memorized for recitations in Feb.7th! Students will be typing
their latest piece of writing this Tuesday and there will be a prepositions quiz on Thursday.
Their goal is to have the entire list memorized! The spelling test will be on Thursday too,
to accommodate the short week.
Math:
This week we will begin our unit on time! We will begin with telling time, converting hours
and minutes, and word problems with time.
Science:
We will continue our unit on light. This week we will focus on lenses and refraction, as well
as color! The students will have the opportunity to get their hands on convex and concave
lenses and mirrors to experience these materials first hand.
History:
We will begin with our Earliest Americans unit this week! We will look at how the ancient
peoples found it possible to migrate using the Beringia Land Bridge. We will also see how
the first settlers farmed, hunted, and gathered.
