Dear 4A Parents,

I have been encouraged by how seriously the students have been taking AIMS and AZ Merit testing. They have been taking their time on the tests and checking their work. I'm glad they are practicing the skills now that will help them later. 

Important Dates:

Wednesday, April 25th - AZ Merit - Day Two of Reading and Math
Thursday, May 3rd - Archway Art Show
Friday, May 4th - no school - grading day

Academics this Week:

In Carry On, Mr. Bowditch, we’ll follow Nat as he continues to travel around the world and begins to discover his life work: writing a guide for sailing that any common sailor could read.

This week in Math, we will explore area and perimeter. We’ll start with a review of area and perimeter of rectangles and squares. We will then discuss finding the area and perimeter of composite figures.

We will begin our unit on plants in science this week. We will look at the difference between vascular and non vascular plants and learn about photosynthesis. 

In history this week we will review for our test on Thursday. Study guides will be filled out in class on Monday and can be used to study each night. We will review in class on Tuesday. On Thursday, Students will also receive their rubric, outline and more information about their 5-paragraph essay on a historical figure from the American Revolution.

Have a great week!
