Dear parents,

This week, the students finished writing their wacky weather stories.  They also learned about the parts of a friendly letter.  During Science, we read and discussed about why we celebrate Earth Day and wrote a friendly letter to Earth, thanking it for its resources and listing ways they will help protect the Earth.  The students also participated in a “Dancing Raisin” experiment where they reviewed the concepts of density and buoyancy.  The students read several reading comprehension passages to practice finding the main idea and sequencing.    We also read Chapter 8 in The Knight at Dawn.  Thank you for your support and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Miss Miller

This week was another short week for the American track because the students continued their Stanford testing.  Students read and summarized Chapter 7 in the Knight at Dawn.   During Easy Grammar, the students reviewed irregular verbs with the past participle.  We read Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs and the students began a writing activity to focus on word choice and organization.  Their writing assignment is to describe what kinds of food would fall from the sky if they were the authors of the story.  During Science, the students learned about the water cycle and observed a science experiment which simulated rain.
