Dear Parents and Students,
It's
been a very compact week, but as always, we have managed to fit in plenty of
learning and exploration.
We have completed Topic 6 in Maths, in which we
learned to identify, apply, and create algebraic expression for addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division problems. We will review the topic on
Monday, and the topic test will take place next Tuesday.
We completed Unit
2 in English, and spent some time writing reflections of our reading in
our journals. Next week, we will read Tanya's Reunion in our Reading
books, as we return to working in our Reading Circles. Our List 8
Spelling test will also take place next week, on Tuesday.
In Science, we have continued our explorations of
energy, with a focus on sound. Next week, we will shift our attention to light
energy.
Our Social
Studies lessons have been about democracy, which has been quite fitting
with the upcoming elections in Taiwan. We have learned about democracy in
Ancient Greece and Rome, and made comparisons between those and the modern
models that exist in Taiwan, the USA, and other countries.
We return to a
full week with a regular curriculum next week, but please remember that there
will be no Monday or Wednesday clubs, as parent/teacher meetings will be taking
place all week.
Parents, I look
forward to meeting you all at the meetings, and students, I will see you all on
Monday!
