Q3Week9

Dear Parents,

Announcements:

1) Our field trip to the Musical Instrument Museum is March 8th! If you have not turned in your students parent permission slip and $10 bus fee do so ASAP.

2) We will have a history and writing test at the end of NEXT week (the last week of the quarter). Make sure your students are studying for it.


What are we learning this Week?

1) In History we will be learning about the end of the American Revolution! Students will learn how Washington trapped Cornwallis in Yorktown and ended the war. On Friday students will hear from a guest teacher on the early attempts to form a new American government. Ask them about the Articles of Confederation and its strengths and weaknesses. They will have a quiz on Thursday.

2) In Writing students will learn about the use of helping verbs and we will have a diagramming quiz on Friday. Ask your students to diagram some simple sentences for you and watch them impress you!

3) In Reading we will be finishing Carry on Mr. Bowditch! Our next book will be the Wizard of Oz, so make sure your student has a copy!

Best,

Mr. Ohbayashi
