Dear 4A Parents:

I am so grateful to be your child's teacher. You have been such an encouragement throughout the year and I really appreciate it!

Important dates:
No school on Friday, May 12th - It is an R&R weekend, too
Wednesday May 24th we will have a Continental Breakfast to celebrate the end of the Revolutionary War Unit. I will have a list of items that you can bring for it available shortly.

Academics:

In Language Arts, we are approaching the end of Mr. Bowditch...hopefully we can make it through without any more heartbreak! Our last Bowditch test is schedule for Friday, May 19th. This will be in the format of an in-class essay. The students will receive the prompt one day prior and spend the class time writing out a draft. 

For our research project, we will be turning our notes into an outline, which will help with writing the rough draft. The final typewritten paper will be due on Friday, May 19th with presentations on May 24th and May 25th (if needed). Any student who would like to dress up as their figure will present on May 24th during a classroom celebration (details to follow soon).

In History, we are wrapping up our unit on the American Revolution and segue into learning more about the Constitution. The final test will take place on Tuesday, May 16th, with a review taking place the Monday before.

In Science, we began our new unit on the respiratory system and discussed how it relate to the circulatory system (ask your scholars!) Our final test for science will take place during the last week of school, with a date to be announced next week.

Greatly Encouraged,

Mrs. Gore
