💡WHAT WE ARE LEARNING THIS WEEK
📕 Reading / Literature: We are reading A Bargain for Frances. If your child did not bring their book at the beginning of the year, now is the time to bring it to school.
📕 Poetry:
The Swing
by Robert Louis Stevenson
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing,
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all,
Over the countryside –
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown –
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
📕 SAYINGS: review
📕 Math: We wrapped up our Chapter on Length and had a Chapter Test. Next week, we will have a cumulative test on addition, subtraction and length. The students have brought / will bring home their first set of Math books (green and blue) and will begin using our new set next week.
📕 History: This week, we continued our unit, Early Explorers, with the story of the early settlers who went to Virginia and established Jamestown.
📕 Science: Animal reports were given this week. What a tremendous job all scholars did. We finished our unit on plants and animals with a test. Next week we start exploring all about light and sound.

Have a great weekend!
