Dear Parents,
I'm sorry I was not able to finish out the week with your child, but I'm praying I will be able to join the kids again on Monday. I'm praying everyone stays healthy as this month unfolds!
We are starting a new chapter book this week,
Knights of the Round Table. I think they are going to really enjoy this one! After they read the assigned reading, you can monitor their comprehension by asking them questions about the book. The literature bookmark I handed out at the beginning of the year is a good conversation starter to see if they are engaged.
As a rule, good readers:Use expression
Don't read too fast
Don't read too slow
Self-correct
I hope everyone has a wonderful homeschool week. I am really enjoying seeing all the growth taking places in the kids in so many ways! I really can't believe it's already February.
Blessings in Christ,
Mrs. Poncy
Important info:
Memory Work: Please continue to work on memory work (quarter poem, catechism, map, facts) during homeschool days. We do this in class as well. Some of these things are due in a month.
Spelling: If you want to give your child opportunities to read words that correspond with our spelling lesson this week (Long E Spelled EA) go back to OPG 125 to read text that has this particular vowel pair.
Science Poem: We will be memorizing the new Meteorite poem that I emailed, but this one is not for a grade, only to support our next lesson on Space Rocks.
