Dear Parents,
The big events to keep in mind this week are Veterans day and Read-A-Thon day. There will be no school on Wednesday in honor of our nations veterans. There will also be no homework given Tuesday. On Friday students will be allowed to dress up as their favorite literary or historical figure! A few rules given to us by the Academy are:
1) Students must know what character they are.
2) Students should be the same gender as the character they are dressing up as.
3) While obviously they don't have to be in dress code, student costumes should still be reasonably appropriate.
This Week
1) In History we will begin our African Kingdoms unit. We will be studying the ancient kingdoms of Egypt, Nubia, and Aksum this week. Engaging your students in discussion about what they learned in history always helps solidify their understanding and retention of the material.
2) In Writing we will be learning about adverbs and reviewing adjectives. If you see sentences printed on signs or are reading with your student, ask them if they can identify the subject noun, the verb, and the adjectives and adverbs.
3) In Reading we will be finishing up King Arthur! Keep reading with your students, it really helps!
I hope everyone has a great Veterans day!
Best,
Mr. Ohbayashi
