Hello 4B Families,
We have a busy week ahead of us! On Wednesday, Archway Lincoln is excited to host Jump Rope for Heart. Students will raise awareness about heart health through jump-roping. Coach Cook will be sending out more information, so keep an eye out for his email.
As some of you may have noticed, the dates for AZ Merit and AIMS have been posted on the Archway Lincoln calendar. Although we do not teach to the test, we want to make sure the students are familiar with the available tools on the test. Later on in the week, I will be walking through the test directions with the students following along. We will discuss the different tools and how to access them. Next week, the students will be able to explore the testing environment and use the features.
In Science this week, the students have a test tomorrow, which will cover the layers of the atmosphere, air masses, fronts, tornadoes, and hurricanes. We reviewed the study guide in class today and I will have a review session in the classroom during lunch.
In Language Arts, we are finishing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz tomorrow. On Thursday, the students will receive their essay prompt and begin pre-writing in preparation for the in-class essay on Friday. The students were given three poems today and they are responsible for selecting one to memorize by March 17th. We will be discussing these poems in the week leading up to spring break, in addition to a few of my favorites.
In History, the students will be taking another quiz either this Friday or next Monday, depending on how far we get with our notes tomorrow. Regardless of when the quiz will take place, the students will get their study guides tomorrow. The quiz will cover the three explorers we discussed in class, Spanish missionaries, and the Mexican-American War.
As always, thank you for your continued support!
