Please double check list on back of binder to ensure all textbooks are sent to class! Thank you!!
Math-The book is teaching multiplication and division of 4's this week, which should be a review for the students. We are skipping around a little bit so please follow the instructions on the blog. If students finish early, I will have them start working on some of the assignments for Tuesday and Thursday as they should be able to complete them without further instruction. Please note that all word problems in workbook and any Textbook practices need to have bar models. The quiz Wednesday will cover the strategies we have been using this semester thus far. We've learned a few different ones and they will not be required to use a specific one as long as they can complete the problems.
Spelling-We did skip Step 14, which was an oversight on my part. We'll circle back to it later in the semester.
Grammar-The students are doing wonderfully in class with our two new parts of speech Subject Pronouns and Possessive Pronouns. We'll have a short quiz this Wednesday.
Reading-We are starting St George and the Dragon this week at school. Our project for this book will be done at school, but there will be some light writing at home. We have been practicing picking out main ideas so when a student dictates to you, if they don't use a complete sentence, prompt them to re-word it. They do this frequently in class so it should not be new to them. Similarly if it doesn't make sense, repeat it back to them and ask if they think it makes sense.
Writing-This semester the students will be doing Writing With Ease with me at school as a writing curriculum. We started it this week and they did really well. At home, you'll continue practicing cursive. Copy work for the most part will consist of Bible verses related to our virtue that we are currently studying.
Science-We are studying Jupiter now and we'll be doing a lab where we make a hurricane! We will be finishing memorizing our Science Poem later in the semester-I'll give you plenty of notice but for now you may want to review the second half periodically.
