Wow! The end of the trimester really snuck up on me, can’t believe we’re already less than two weeks away from spring break!

This week we are holding drop in conferences from 3:15pm to 7:15pm both Tuesday March 12th & Wednesday March 13th. Hope to see you all there!                  If you can’t make it, send us an email or call if you would like to schedule a conference at a time more convenient for you!

In Language Arts this week we have been experimenting with edmodo and haiku deck (an app that pairs pictures with words) to create brilliant sentences! Have your student show you their work on edmodo! We are also going to be tackling another paragraph writing sample Tuesday and Wednesday using an online graphic organizer as well as some prompts that students will have to argue for or against!

We’ve started our unit on Ancient India in Social Studies this week by completing a map of India and will also be tackling vocabulary review for our school-wide vocabulary program. Tuesday and Wednesday we will be learning more about how the geography of India affected its development and created one of the largest advanced ancient civilizations, Mohenjo Daro!

Enjoy the four day weekend off with your student! Remember, no school Thursday AND Friday! I’ll be missing them, though 🙂
