Dear Families,


I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! The students certainly deserved some time to relax and be with family.


This week will begin our unit on China. We focus on ancient China and the dynasties that culturally shaped the largest nation today. 


In Science, we will shift our focus from magnetism to electricity, The students should enjoy the multiple demonstrations we conduct using currents and light bulbs. 


In Math, we will be working on conversions of different units. Some of the imperial units simply need to be memorized.

1 gal = 4 quarts

1 quart = 2 pints

1 pint = 2 cups... and so forth.

In Literature we will be continuing with Robin Hood and finish chapter 10 this week. 



**Please continue helping your child memorize "Paul Revere's Ride". I'm encouraging each student to put in 10 minutes a day. I would like them to have it memorized by the time we go on winter break, so they can just work on the presentation and hopefully give you a break, too.**

The administration has begun a new policy. If your child has missing work, you will get an email from Jupiter (our electronic grading system) once a week. Please encourage your child to make up any missing assignments. Let me know if you have any questions or if you need anything clarified.

Dear 4C Families,

I hope you're all looking forward to the Thanksgiving break. Reminder: we will not have school the 23rd-25th and Thanksgiving is an R&R Weekend.

Before Thanksgiving, we will have a history test on Monday, chapters 17-21.

We have a Math test on Tuesday covering fractions.

We will have a Literature test on Tuesday as well covering chapters 1-6 of Robin Hood.

Thanks and have a great week!

Mr. Leonard
