Week 7 Updates

Hello 4B Families,

A couple of reminders for the week:
  • PLEASE DO NOT BRING VALENTINES TO SCHOOL TOMORROW.  At Great Hearts, we celebrate the virtues by focusing on kindness and friendship, not on candy and gifts.  If your children brings in any Valentines, they will have to stay in their backpacks and taken home at the end of the day.
  • Our class field trip to the Musical Instrument Museum is on Friday.  If the student would like a snack, please bring a DRY snack as it will be eaten on the bus.  Every lunch item must be disposable and packed in a paper or plastic bag.  The sign-up for small group leaders was sent out this afternoon, and there is one spot left.  We also need one person to let us borrow a cooler for the day.  The link to sign up is here:

In Language Arts this week, we will be taking our second quiz on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz on Tuesday, February 14th.  By Friday, we will be through chapter 18.  We are also starting our next packet to practice our analytical skills in Language Arts.  The focus for this week is persuasive writing, which should be familiar to the students.

In History, we are having a quiz on the regions and ancient people of Arizona on Thursday, February 16th.  I have passed out the study guides today and we are going over them as a class tomorrow.

In Science, we are finishing up our study of air masses and fronts and moving on to discuss thunderstorms.

As always, thank you for your continued support.
