Theme:

Central idea:

PYP attitudes: creativity

This week is all about drama! We will learn about the art of theatre from mime to music used in soundtracks. Students will be introduced to William Shakespeare through our "Stage Fright" book.

Students are monitoring their seed growth and will be given the option of taking them home. Ask your child about the lima bean or grass seeds we planted. We finish our science unit on plant adaptations this week.

In grammar we are focusing on plural nouns and possessive nouns. Students are now responsible for editing their own writing for complete sentences, capitalization and punctuation.

Please contact me via e-mail to set a parent conference regarding your child, if needed.
