Dear Parents,
We are half-way through another quarter and almost to half-way mark of the year. This week deficiency notices will be going out, and there will be more of them this quarter than there were last. The main reason for this is that many students struggled with turning in homework at the beginning of the quarter. Please make sure you are checking your students agendas and homework folders, it is very important for our scholars to complete homework assignments in order to do well.
This Week
1) In History we will be studying the early African kingdom of Ghana. The history of Western Africa is rich, but not well known. Feel free to look up facts and articles of early Ghana, "The Land of Gold," and share them with your student. This will help them get a better context and understanding of what they are learning.
2) In Writing we will be working on creating key word summaries of short passages and dictating from memory.
3) In Reading we will be discussing the question "What does it mean to be a knight?" and having a test on the varying aspects of that question on Friday. Your students will be bringing home a sheet of loose leaf paper with the ideas we have been discussing on it, read that and discuss the topics with them!
If you have any other questions, feel free to email me at bohbayashi@archwayglendale.org !
Best,
Mr. Ohbayashi
