Week in Review 4/17-4/21

Hi there, Fisher Baker families! 

Well we're done with AZ Merit Testing for the year! We are so proud of all of our students' hard work throughout our testing weeks. Also, we owe a huge "thank you!" to the parents who sent in snacks for our kiddos over those two weeks. They were such a huge help, and set us up for success each morning and afternoon. 

Since testing is behind us, this leaves us with time to focus on our Westward Expansion unit, review and assessments for final grades, a couple of field trips (stay tuned), and some time out in the Marshall garden. 

We are excited to wind our year down with some quality learning!


This Week in Academics:
  • Geometry Review/ Final Geometry Assessment
  • Westward Expansion
    • Trail of Tears, Navajo Long Walk
    • Mexican American War
    • Historic fiction novel Thunder Rolling in the Mountains
  • Primary and Secondary Sources
Looking Ahead:
  • Normal schedule for the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned!
