May Update

It's hard to believe it's already May!  Here's an update on Division 3 as we head into the second to last month of the school year.

1. Our major Social Studies/English reports are now complete.  We will resume a more traditional model for Social Studies.

2. In English/Language Arts we have commenced our final novel study of the year.  This time we will use the Literature Circles format, in which students form groups and read, analyze and discuss a book together - somewhat like a book club, albeit with more structure and accountability.

3.  In PE we are out on the field.  We've done ultimate frisbee and touch football, and next we'll play soccer baseball and real softball.  We'll also get into some track and field.

4. In Science we have almost completed our second of three units.  Math continues as usual.  And, the students have commenced their final exploratory and enrichment cycles for the year.

I'll maintain the "Important Dates" list on the right hand side of this page.  We are looking into a swimming field trip, as well as a year end excursion.
