Grammar- We are starting back with Chapter 8 of Shurley Grammar this week. Please continue to re-enforce the parts of speech we have learned thus far in texts outside of Shurley so we can work toward mastery.
Reading-We are finishing up Little Pear this week. The students have loved this book and it's been so fun to discuss it with them. We are completing a class project for the book. We'll be starting The Minstrel in the Tower next week. The students will be completing a book report at home along with this book that they will present to the class. Look for the instructions and graphic format in the binders. OPG: We are heading toward the finish line with OPG so when you have extra time, go back to lessons that you have flagged that your student struggled with and repeat them for fluency.
Science- Moon journals are due next week. Students need to identify and sketch the phase of the moon for at least 10 days. Some of the phases look similar, but I told the students that after several days of observing, they should be able to tell if it's waxing or waning because it will appear to be getting bigger or smaller. Also, if your student is missing a grade for the Earth Quiz, please bring that Monday.
