Here on earth it is true, yesterday is always before today; but there is a place where yesterday always follows today. Where?

Dear Parents,
Our class book orders will be due this Friday. In other news, this week our class will start our first book together entitled CrispinThis book by award-winning author Avi, is a historical fiction story of a young boy in medieval England and his struggles to find his identity. It is also a book of universal themes. For those of you who are able to, it is beneficial to read the story and ask questions about the themes and events in the story. It is a wonderful book and I look forward to the deep class discussions that will arise.
In Social Studies we will finish our chapter study of the Explorers and clash of cultures. The first test will be next Tuesday, September 16th. I will send home a study guide this coming Tuesday.
In Spelling we have begun to do challenge words for those students who pass their pre-test with a 90% or above. During our reading of Cripsin we will be learning new vocabulary and challenging words.
This week in math I will be forming an advanced math group, as well, for those students who receive a 95% on their math pre-tests. This will all be explained more thoroughly at our conference time in a month.
That is it for now!
See you at school,
Mr. Sweet
