Language Arts
In reading most reading groups are reading realistic fiction novels. Beginning this week each student's reading reflections will be slightly different as they have the option to choose their response. Be sure to ask you child what they are reading and reflection on.
This year we have covered many prefixes and suffixes. As we progress we are beginning to study Greek and Latin roots. Each day we are learning a new root's meaning as well as words that contain this root. Take a moment and see which roots your child has learned.
Social Studies & Science
Last Friday we finished our unit on VS. 9. This unit covered the changes in the economy of Virginia during the 20th and 21st centuries, famous Virginians, and the Civil Rights Movement in Virginia. The students will get their tests back tomorrow, March 16th. If a student scored below 80%, they will need to complete remediation work that will be due on Thursday, March 19th.
