Dear Parents,
The students have been super excited about their dioramas and talking a lot about them in class. I can't wait to see what they came up with. We will do a student walk-thru on Wednesday, where they will walk through all the student dioramas and make observations. I think they are going to enjoy learning from their classmates.
This week we are moving onto the Renaissance period and also a new book,
The Apple and the Arrow. It should be a great week, and I hope it doesn't go by fast. Reminds me of the saying, "Time stand still!"
Blessings,
Mrs. Poncy
Important info:
Reading: Please check your child's backpack the night before school days to ensure they have their classical book! This helps them be more engaged during our reading lesson and not have to rely on a partner to read the assigned pages.
Space Dioramas: Just a friendly reminder to turn in dioramas on 4/24! Please make sure your child has their name and a title on their project.
Memory Work: The Asia map is due on 4/29! Also, please continue to have your child practice "Holy, Holy, Holy" for our end-of-year-assembly.
Science and History Journals: Science and History Journals will be due on Wed 5/1! This will be the last time they are turned in.
