Dear 4C families,
I hope you had a relaxing weekend!
I watched my husband's volleyball team (Lincoln Prep's JV team) win state for the second year in a row! They are conference champions as well and ended their season undefeated 15-0.
Our class is in need of tissues. I would sincerely appreciate any donations of tissues this week.
Academics this week:
Please have your student turn in any corrections by Thursday, November 2nd.
Math
We will begin our week in math with a unit test on Monday. After that, we dig deeper into the operations of fractions, reviewing how to add and subtract fractions with different denominators and learning how to add mixed numbers.
The students will finish up their opinion paragraph with the typewritten final draft. We will learn how to classify and diagram prepositional phrases. We will also summarize a chapter of Prince Caspian in class. For our end of the book activity for Prince Caspian, the students will make 6 Character Trading Cards. They will be given a sheet with instructions for what each card should have on it.
We will finish Prince Caspian on Friday. Our next book will be Robin Hood. The ISBN number is 978-1890517168. Please make sure your child has the book by Tuesday, November 7th.
History
In History, we will continue our study of the Middle Ages and focus on life in a castle, and the role of knights in the a feudal society. Students will virtually tour a medieval castle and learn the important components of their structure. We will then turn our attention to the steps it took to become a knight and why knights were instrumental components of the Middle Ages.
Science
The final geology test is on 10/30. The next unit is Meteorology. We will discuss Aristotle and his thoughts on meteorology. The students will learn about the water cycle, the distribution of water on the Earth, and clouds.
