The School of Grammar will again be celebrating Nova Book Week this year! Nova’s Book Week will take place the week of December 17-21.
We will be collecting book donations in the LS Office ALL WEEK… thin out those book shelves and share the GIFT of READING with kids in need!
As always, we will also be highlighting favorite books and celebrating all the wonderful things our students read. Students who choose to are invited to dress up as their favorite book characters on Wednesday, December 19. Please choose characters originally from books, not a cartoon, movie or television characters (or actors) made into books.
We will have assemblies that day in celebration of the characters represented and the joy of reading. Students may wear their costumes until lunch but must then change into their Nova uniform. Please make sure your child brings a complete uniform to change into before lunch.
Assembly Schedule:Grades K, 3 and 5: 8:55-9:40 in the Gym
Grades 1, 2 and 4: 9:50-10:35 in the Great Room
Students will take a History test on Wednesday December 12th on the Phoenicians & Persians. Students should review their two Phoenicia lectures, their three Persian lectures, and the study guide handout.

Chapter 4 Test Study Guide
Tuesday, November 27
Vocabulary (matching)-erosion, physical weathering, chemical weathering, deposition, mass wasting, earthquake, fault, lava, magma, volcano
Labeling—be able to label a diagram with terms/vocabulary word—for example, types of tectonic plate boundaries, formations
Describe the theory of plate tectonics
Types of plate boundaries—how they are similar and different—convergent, divergent, and transform
Causes of tectonic plate movement and an understanding of what each is—subduction and convection
Types of mountains formed at different plate boundaries—mid-ocean ridges, volcanic arcs, and folded mountain ranges
Lithosphere/Asthenosphere-define each and know the components
How and where volcanoes are formed
Earthquakes—what they are, what causes them, and where they occur (in general by a fault, most often at a plate boundary)
How weathering, erosion, and deposition work together
Erosion—different forces (wind, water, organisms, glaciers) that cause erosion—differences in how these forces erode if the landscape changes (ie—rivers are able to carry heavier sediment if they move faster
Deposition—what causes it to occur (something slows down), what can be formed (deltas), what deposited first (larger sediment)
The chapter 4 science test will be Tuesday, November 27th. Students have been learning about the Earth’s surface. The study guide will be sent home before break.
