Academics this week:
We will finish Prince Caspian this week. Last week filled up with other good things and we were not able to finish it. There will be a vocabulary quick check on Thursday for chapters 9-15 and the character trading cards will also be due on Thursday. In grammar, we will continue to work on prepositions. The final typewritten opinion paragraph is due on Monday.
Robin Hood be our next book. Please make sure your child has the same one that is represented under "current literature" in the margin.
This week in math, we will continue practicing adding and subtracting mixed numbers as separate equations and embedded in word problems. We will also start to learn how to multiply a fraction by a whole number. This concept builds on the work we’ve already done with multiples earlier in the year and challenges students to think of fractions a bit more abstractly than we have been doing so far.
This week in science, the students will learn about fog and how water acts in the air. We will being an introduction to weather, wind, air pressure, and density. The students will have a quick check on the water cycle and clouds on Wednesday.
This week in History we will study city life during the Middle Ages and how it differed from life on a manor, as well as the important role of women during this time period. We will also learn about William the Conqueror, the Battle of Hastings and the why William and the battle are important to the English language and Europe.

*This past week in History, we took a virtual tour of Warwick Castle. The students were very excited about it and some wanted to view it further. Here's the link so you and your child can "visit" it together:
