November 18, 2013

We hope you all had a wonderful time at the Medieval Faire this weekend.  We had a lot of fun and hope you did too.  Our apothecary booth was a wonderful success.  We even won first prize for the best booth.  Thank you to Mrs. Mercer for helping coordinate the booth.  We also were so excited to get $400 from our basket!  Thank you so much for all things you donated to the basket and especially to Mrs. Schubring for putting the basket together.  Finally, thank you to each of you who volunteered their time at the Faire.

Here is the run-down of what we will be doing this week.

Literature/Reading: In reading groups we will continue to read our Frog and Toad books.  In Literature we will be studying a few different Brer Rabbit stories.  We will also practice our summarizing skills and being able to retell the story in writing.

History: We will continue our learning of Early American Civilizations this week.  Specifically, we will talk about the Mayan Civilization and the Aztec Civilization.  We will learn where the Mayans lived and about many of their accomplishments.  Additionally, we will find out where the Aztec nation lived and their everyday life.

Science: The digestive system will be our system of study this week.  We will start with learning about the stomach, progress on to the small intestine and then to the large intestine.  We will also talk about healthy eating and the nutrients are bodies get from food.

Reminders: 
  • The day before Thanksgiving (Nov. 27) is a 12:15/12:30 release time with no clubs after school. 
  • Hope to see you at Family Dinner Night this Wednesday at Native New Yorker on Gilbert & Germann.  Eat here anytime from 11am to Midnight to earn money for Archway-Chandler!
