Important Information
- Students who do not complete their homework will have to complete their homework during recess on the day the homework is due.

This is an opportunity for scholars to spend time reflecting on how to make good choices that will help them be successful here at Great Hearts. Parents will be notified before the detention is served.

What's coming up?
Literature
We are well into our next novel, Tom Sawyer. Please make sure your child is completing their evening reading assignments and annotating. Please make sure scholars read Chapters 8 and 9 this weekend. They have been given a question for each chapter to help them think further about their reading.
Next week, we will read Chapters 10-16. As a reminder, we are reading the Puffin Classics version of Tom Sawyer.
MathWe started the week with a review of percent. We spent two days
reviewing. There was a test on Wednesday. Then, we started Geometry. We started
with triangles, then moved to the areas of rectangles and parallelograms.
Next
week, we will evaluate the areas of triangles and trapezoids. Then, we will
name and classify polyhedrons. We will also calculate the volume of prisms.

This week in History the scholars continued to learn about
the causes and important people and events of the French Revolution. Although I
have been out; I have heard that they did a great job working together on their
timelines.
I am so happy to be feeling better and returning to campus
next week; I have truly missed my students. Next week, we will be exploring
more about the French Revolution; in particular, the Reign of Terror. We will
also meet Napoleon Bonaparte and examine his impact on France.
Scholars enjoyed exploring the bottom of the ocean this floor as they discovered unique characteristics of the phylum echinoderms. Make sure you ask your child what unique animals are in this phylum.
Next week, we will begin to study crayfish, scorpions, and spiders.
