Update and announcements
The last leg of AZMerit is

Thursday. Be sure students are well rested and have a good breakfast this week.
The Human Growth and Development
lessons are next Tuesday and Wednesday.
Students will get to go on a tour

Our week in learning
The students are really enjoying Across
Five Aprils in Literature as they are able to make connections as they
study The Civil War in History.
Most of the students did very well on
their Grammar quiz last week. Tuesday through Thursday we will be taking a
break from due to AZMerit testing, however, Friday we will be learning about
friendly letters.
We will have a quiz over roots on Wednesday!
This week we are finishing the skeletal and muscular systems, and
beginning the endocrine system. We scheduled a test on Tuesday, but it is now
moved to Thursday.
This week,
students will learn about the beginning of the Civil War, advantages and
disadvantages of the North and South, why the Civil War was called a “Brother’s
War”, the North and South’s war strategies, the battle at Antietam, and General
McClellan. We will continue to discuss slavery. This may be sensitive content
for some students, so please have a discussion at home if needed.
Tuesday and Thursday we will be testing in Math and on Wednesday
we will be doing review. Because of our assembly and music rehearsal we
will not have formal math groups. Friday we will introduce our new unit covering
ratio.
