Here's What's Happening...

English/Language Arts: We will wrap up our informational essay on an inventor and the challenges they had to overcome in designing their invention.

Science: We will get started on Chapter 2 of Ecosystem Restoration, which focuses on the question "Why are the cecropia trees not growing and thriving?"  We will begin by reading the book "Energy Makes it All Go" and completing the anticipation guide for this text.

Social Studies: We will focus on Science this week.

Important Info:

Candor Health Presentations this week!

On Monday, your child will be bringing home a form to grant permission for them to participate in the Candor Health program, Puberty 1. This program teaches our learners about the changes they can expect in the coming years as they begin their transition to adolescence. Students will be separated by gender in order to ensure they are more comfortable discussing this sensitive information. This program is very well done and truly focuses on body changes and self-esteem and is meant to help facilitate discussions at home. Please reach out if you have any questions and return the permission form by Thursday of this week!
