Perseverance

We spurn despair and strive to complete tasks to the best of our abilities, regardless of the difficulty. We respond creatively to overcome obstacles and ask for help when necessary.

Quote of the Week

“So be sure when you step, step with care and great tact. And remember that life’s a Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed!) Kid, you’ll move mountains!”

Week of May 20-24


Can you believe it is the last week of school!? Where did the time go???

Here is a brief agenda for the week:

Language Arts: The students will spend some time finishing up their Chronicles of Narnia board games, and begin playing their games on Tuesday. We will wrap up chapter 10 in Grammar will some final review of Pattern 3 sentences and pluralizing rules. The students will take their last Latin and Greek test on Monday! You should be seeing proverb and idiom books coming home this week; I encourage you to spend some time going through each saying with your kids to see all of the hard work they put into this project! On Monday, we will delve into a Touchstones discussion over The Stonecutter, a tale from Japan. Ask your child about this so you can continue the conversation at home!

History/Geography: We will continue working through our Native Americans: Cultures and Conflicts unit until the end of the week. There will not be a test over this content. Your children are also binding their state books, so you should see these coming home this week, as well. I encourage the children to hang onto these books and look through them over the summer, as the content will be useful at CPA in sixth grade.

Science: Monday and Tuesday will be spend going over the Matter and Chemistry unit and completing a study guide. The quiz over the content will be on Wednesday.
