A HUGE thank you to everyone for coming together to make Westward Expansion Day a success!! Our scholars had so much fun during this wonderful experiential learning opportunity.

We are so grateful for our liaisons, volunteers, and parent community as a whole.</div>

1. Our class field trip to the Arizona Science Center is approaching; we will be going on this adventure Tuesday, April 23. Each class will need 8 fingerprinted chaperones for the trip who will join at the ASC oversee a group of scholars. Due to limited bus space, we will be asking chaperones to carpool and meet us there. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please email me directly to be placed on the list. Names of chaperones will be drawn randomly in class.</div>

1. ELA: We will start writing persuasive paragraphs. Students will be introduced to pronouns. We will also finish identifying text features. Our poetry selection for this month has increased in length, to prepare our scholars for 3rd grade pieces. Nightly practice is encouraged.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 36pt;">
2. History: We will continue our discussion about the Civil War by reading about Lee and Grant. We will also discuss the ending of the war and important female figures who contributed to the needs our struggling nation.</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 36pt;">
3. Science: We will be continuing our study of life cycles next week. We will conclude our study of the frog life cycle and begin the chicken life cycle. Classes will be raising frogs and hatching chicken eggs in order to make real-life connections to science. </div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 36pt;">
4. Math: This week we will be wrapping up our unit on money. We will have our final money lesson on Monday covering word problems and mental math. Tuesday we will review with our textbook and some games. On Wednesday we will have an assessment on our Money Unit. We will then jump into the exciting world of fractions in on Thursday and Friday. This unit begins with an exploration of halves, fourths, and thirds. One aspect of fractions that we will emphasize is fairness in fractions. For example, there is a way to cut a pizza into two parts and it not to be halves which would not be fair! </div>

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 10pt;">We will have the projects on display in the MPR and parents are invited to walk through our “museum” and admire everyone's work. In order to allow everyone the time to view the projects in an uncrowded environment we are staggering visitation times. Please find your child's group time below and plan to visit during that 30 minute time slot as this is when your child will be in the MPR. Scholars will present during the 15 minute time slot listed for their class. This is when they will stand by their project ready to explain their work. With the remaining 15 minutes, they will have an opportunity to explore the work of other students.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">1. ELA: We are going to dive deeper into
our study of linking verbs. Our instruction on paragraph writing will begin as
we learn the parts of a paragraph. As we transition into paragraph writing,
please make sure you students are consistently writing in complete sentences.
Also, we will be learning about how to find the main idea and details in what
we read. Our next poem is going home Monday 10/22. Please have your scholar
study our new poem "Something Told the Wild Geese" by Rachel Field
nightly. Poems will be recited on Friday, November 9th. </span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As a reminder, we do ask that parents please sign their student's agenda nightly. Filling out the agenda is a daily exercise in the classroom; Mrs. Farias and myself do stamp each student's agenda to ensure it is filled out correctly. Parent sign-off is a natural support in keeping scholars accountable for completing homework, which is a part of a student's grade at Archway Lincoln. Also, we encourage each scholar to bring a water bottle daily. Thank you for your partnership in this practice. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">1. ELA: In reading, we will be learning to make connections to what we are reading. Some connections that can be made are: </span></div>

<li style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Text to Text: The text reminds me of something else I’ve read or watched</span></span></li>

</ul>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When you are reading with your child, as them about what connections they made while they are reading. We will be reading "The Blind Men and the Elephant" in order to continue working on our sequencing writing. This story has a great moral about teamwork and different perspectives. We will finish studying plural nouns by examining irregular plurals that do not follow a rule and are learned through memorization. </span></div>

Please have you scholar read their passage out loud for one minute on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Log the total number of words read within the minute. Subtract any words read that were skipped, switched or misread. If they are able to self-correct, you do not need to count this as an error. Return the completed fluency sweep on Thursday. This counts toward the 20 minutes of nightly reading. In ELA, we will continue to practice sequencing by working through graphic organizers and writing sequencing sentences.

Language Arts: We will be building on the skills we have been acquiring this year. We will take our knowledge of grammar and begin parsing subject noun/ verb sentences. We will complete our study of the 4 types of sentences by examining interrogative and exclamatory sentences. Our study of story elements will be solidified by reading How the Camel Got It's Hump and by learning to visualize what we read. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">7. Math: Our first math unit "Numbers to 1,000" comes to a close this Friday. Throughout this unit scholars have practiced counting, reading, and writing whole numbers to 1,000 and identifying the place value for each digit. Students have also practiced counting back by hundreds, tens, or ones from a number within 1,000. We have reviewed ordering and comparing whole numbers using the symbols < , > , and =. Scholars have also reviewed what it means to rename 1 ten as 10 ones and 1 hundred as 10 tens. Our number sense is deepening through these reviewed concepts and the students have explored these objectives using concrete manipulatives. </span></div>
