The
Headlines
Your scholars continue to
work hard as we take on new concepts and ideas.
Our last week before fall break should be productive and fun!
Math: We continued
our practice of the distributive property and learned how it is used in mental
math. We also began looking at bar
models for problem solving. This will
continue next week as we practice multiple ways to solve word problems.
Language
Arts:
Our literature study of Voyage of the Dawn Treader is going
very well. We discussed personification
and characterization and next week will continue with our reading.
Spalding: Thank
you for helping your students with their spelling lists; the kids seem to be
getting the hang of breaking words apart using phonograms. Next week the
homework will be changing. Instead of
turning it in each night, they will continue to write their words three times
on M/W/F and the pretest on Thursday, but will turn all of this in together on
Friday. This counts as a grade, so it is
important that it is completed!
