Dear Parents,
This week I thought I would take a little bit of time to introduce classifying sentences the Shurley Grammar way during our online sessions, in hopes that it's one less new thing the students have to navigate next year. I have full access to Shurley Grammar level 2 online through June 30th, and I can set your child up with an online student textbook if you want. Just email me if you want me to get your child set up. They may even extend that June 30th date because of the pandemic, so you might even have longer. It's such a blessing that all these online resources are available to us right now!
Also, thank you for submitting your child's math and spelling tests to me last week!
Blessings,
Mrs. Poncy
Important info: Reading: I have assigned your child some reading assignments in Lalilo. Please have your child access Lalilo this week to begin completing them if you have not already. Thanks! We also have a new, classical, online audio book,
The Moffats we are starting this week in
EPIC.
