Our week in learning 4/24

 Endocrine Jeopardy! link

I hope everyone had a restful long weekend. This week, we are back to our
regular schedule after AZMerit, which will include Spalding. In math, we
will begin a unit on angles. Please make sure your child brings a protractor
to school each day.

Math groups will take place from 8:45-9:30 for the next two Wednesdays,
due to music concert practice in the gym.

In math this week, students will begin their study of angles. They will review types
 of angles, the use of a protractor, and begin a study of vertically opposite angles
 and angles in a triangle. This will lay a great foundation for geometry classes in 
the future! Please ensure that your student has a protractor to use at school. We 
will have math groups this week on Wednesday 8:45-9:45.  


In language arts this week, students will review the basics of grammar and
 sentence diagramming in preparation for the end-of-year grammar test.

Spalding lessons begin again this week!

Students will continue reading and journaling through Across Five Aprils 
chapter 8.



This week in history, students will continue into a unit about westward expansion 
after the civil war, and will learn what life was like for homesteaders, cowboys and
 miners. They will receive their study guide this Wednesday that they may start 
working on in advance of the test on 5/2. 

This week in science, students will review for the endocrine system unit test, which
 will take place next Monday, April 30. On Thursday and Friday, students will participate
 in human growth and development lessons. There is no homework for these lessons, 
but it is important that students study for the endocrine unit test during this time to keep 
the concepts fresh in their minds.
