I hope that we are all ready and excited for the last week of school! We have all worked so hard this year. I cannot wait to celebrate all of our accomplishments on Friday, May 22 with our "Little House on the Prairie" Day. Our celebration will be from 9:30 to 11:30. If you are interested in helping out, please check out our Sign-Up Genuis here. Please remember that you must have a Fingerprint Clearance Card on file with the front office of Archway Arete to come into our classroom.
We will start sending supplies home on Monday and will slowly send home all supplies by Thursday. Students will still need to bring their backpacks on Friday, just in case they have forgotten to take anything home, and so that we can sign yearbooks or signature sheets. Students will have time at school to sign yearbooks all through this week.
Our quizzes and tests for the week:
Monday, May 18th:
History Test (The Middle and Northern Colonies)
Tuesday, May 19th:
Math Test (End of the Year Singapore Test)

Thursday, May 21st [Half Day]:

Here is what we will be doing this week in 3B:
In Language Arts, we will be review and assess on all topics that we have learned this year. In Literature, this will take the form of a test on The Little House on the Prairie on Thursday. In Spalding, this will be an assessment on Thursday. We will also have another thirty or so new words this week for homework as usual. In Grammar, we will review some key concepts and assess what we know as a class on our whiteboards. In Writing, we will read a passage and summarize it using original sentences and then test our listening skills with a dictation exercise. There will be no Touchpebbles or Idioms/Proverbs this week due to our half days. Our last poem of the year is my favorite poem entitled "Love and Death" by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
In Math, we will take our year end assessment. We will also continue learning new materials all week. We will be learning about area, perimeter, and volume!
In History, we will finish our history studies for the year on Monday with our final test on the Middle and Northern Colonies.
In Science, we will finish our studies for the year on Wednesday with our final test on the Milky Way, the Big Bang theory, and other parts of the universe outside of our solar system.
Thank you for all of your hard work and support this year!
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Best,
Ms. Sexton
