Good afternoon, parents! We’ve
had a great week! The kids have finished reading their literature circle books
and I can honestly say that I believe everyone enjoyed the text they were
assigned to read! Many are seeking out sequels and other books written by the
same author! I am so proud of their enthusiasm and eagerness to keep on
reading!
Today we also
had the opportunity to help our Kinderpups wrap their Husky Helping House gifts
and to wrap our own! The kids had a blast and they love working with their
Kinderpups! It’s been really neat to watch them step into leadership roles with
their younger buddies! J
Please read the
message below for some important things you need to know in the coming days!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Here’s what’s coming up next week in our curriculum!
7 Habits: We are going to take some time
to step back and review the 7 habits next week as we refocus our personal and
academic goals.
Social Studies:
We will begin a fun, new endeavor next week as we explore the Mission
U.S. program online to build background information on the Revolutionary War.
Math: During math we will wrap up our division unit
and then we will begin an authentic project in which kids will complete a
virtual shopping spree.
Reading: We will finish up our study of
point of view and verb tense, and then work on comparing and contrasting
literary texts.
Writing: Our focus for writing will be to learn about perspective, how to
see situations and events through another person’s eyes. The kids will specifically analyze slavery
through perspectives of various people including a slave, an abolitionist, a
slave owner, and then their own perspective.
