Can you believe that we are nearing the end of another year at Innovations Academy? It has really gone by much to quickly. I would like to thank all of the parents, faculty, and students who attended the parent night at Barnes and Noble last week it was a huge success! I look forward to more fun events like this in the future.
We are finally coming to a close on our Revolutionary War projects. We just got through reading the Historical fiction novel My Brother Sam is Dead. The students were really excited to read the novel due to its suspense and relevancy to history. It had a very ironic twist in the end which led us to believe that war is both cruel and harsh. Tomorrow we will be writing a compare and contrast essay about the two main characters in the story.
In math we have begun exploring geometric figures. We have been designing different types of triangles. We are also studying different types of angles, parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines. We are looking at the types of angles as well. These include obtuse, acute, and right angles.
In language arts we are going to be starting to read a new book called The Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. It is a story about a child who runs away to a museum to solve a mystery. We are continuing to work on our grammar and wordly wise. If any work is not being completed in class when sufficient time is being given, I will start sending the work home to be completed.
