April in Language Arts
April will bring the end of our time with the Greeks, Trojans, and Black Ships Before Troy, after which students will take on (with my support over the course of many days) their first 5-paragraph essays of this year. After that, we will move onto Watership Down, which will continue to focus on the use of foreshadowing and theme. We will look at five themes throughout the book: 1) what makes a place a home, 2) the importance of trickery, 3) the necessity of adapting, 4) what makes a strong leader, and 5) the purpose of “government.” We will also touch on how weather can be used to create mood throughout many parts of the book.

History Quarterly Exam
The history exam for the third quarter is scheduled for Thursday, March 15th. This test is cumulative, covering all material taught since the start of the school year. On Thursday, March 8th, all students were asked to take home their history binders with their notes to review for this exam. They should also study their vocabulary list. If you know that your fifth grader will be absent on Thursday, please let me know, so that they can take the test earlier in the week before spring break.
