This week in math we will continue our unit on geometry. We are learning how to measure and construct angles using a protractor. 

We are beginning a unit on plants in science and will do some experiments with carnations and celery.

For Language Arts, we are continuing how to outline, how to identify direct objects, and will begin how to write a friendly letter.

We’ve been writing a log for each chapter in Carry On, Mr. Bowditch as we read and discuss the main points.

What a great time we had on field day! A special thank you to the moms and dad who came out and helped equip, encourage, and carry things for our class!!

As we gear up for the final quarter, there are a few things to be aware of. We are starting a new book Carry On, Mr. Bowditch by Jean Lee Latham, so please get this ASAP if you haven’t already. In math, we are starting geometry and the students will need a protractor. This is the half circle instrument that enables you to measure angles. They are usually less than a dollar and can be picked up almost anywhere.  

I am so pleased with how well the class learned decimals. They also did a great job on their science test on magnetism and electricity. Their persuasive essays were really good, too : )

This week we will begin our study of the American Revolution in history. Since we have the Science AIMS test on Thursday, we will be reviewing some concepts in Science this week but the next week we begin a unit on plants.

Just a few reminders: All boys must wear a belt. Girls must have one with shorts or pants. Shirts must be tucked in at all times. White socks and shoes only. Students can’t wear non-regulation sweaters or jackets inside the building. Hair accessories must match the uniform. Girls are permitted to wear stud earrings but no other jewelry (except for religious purposes) and no fingernail polish.

Please do not send sugary snacks for snack time.  

If anyone is able to donate some Band-Aids, it’d be much appreciated. And, as always (it seems), we can use tissue. You have been so generous already with them but, boy, do we go through them fast.

There is no school this Friday, March 25.

Please clear out the take-home folder. Your student can clear out all papers pertaining to Prince Caspian, Poetry, Drama, AZ History, Chemistry, Magnetism and Electricity : )  

Athletic Field Day is this Thursday, March 10^th. Students must pack a lunch for school on Thursday as hot lunch will not be offered. Students will also be permitted to wear athletic clothing to school on Thursday. Just as Archway provides guidelines for dress code in the classroom, it is important to project the image of professionalism in our athletic attire as well. Please refer to page 50 in the Family Handbook for those guidelines. Each class has a team color and name (based on ancient Greece and surrounding city-states) so students are encouraged to wear their class color to represent their section!

KA/3A: Red - Sparta

KB/3B: Orange - Croton

KC/3C: White - Macedonia

1A/4A: Yellow - Thebes

1B/4B: Green - Crete

1C/4C: Black - Persia

2A/5A: Blue - Athens

2B/5B: Purple - Corinth

2C/5C: Grey - Argos

We are still looking for a few more volunteers to help organize and facilitate the athletic events. We are also looking for anyone willing to let Archway borrow their pop-up tent for shade or rolling coolers for water and popsicles. If you are able, please follow this link to sign up: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e084fada62ca2f85-athletic. Please email Coach Cook with any questions: dcook@archwaylincoln.org. Thank you for your support!

I also need one more parent volunteer to help out in the class during lunch and to be with us on the field to aid with water etc. Please email me and let me know if you are available to do this.

This quarter went by quickly. With just a few days left, I want to make sure all missing work is turned in. Partial credit is better than a 0, so please look in your child’s agenda to see if anything is missing.

We will be having a quiz on multiplying/dividing decimals on Wednesday and a test on magnetism/electricity on Thursday.

The final typewritten 5 paragraph persuasive essay on a tenth virtue is due on Tuesday.

We won the boxtop competition again!!! Thank you so much for contributing! Keep collecting them, there is another competition next quarter : )

Thanks for the tissues, we can still use more: )
