Math:
Mental math (MM) can be found toward the back of the Home Instructor Guide. You should spend no longer than 10 minutes on MM; students do not need to complete the entire exercise.
Grammar:
A copy of chapter 10 test can be found in your child's campus binder. Skip exercise 5 & 7. You will not be doing any Shurley vocabulary at home for the remainder of the year as we will be focusing on IEW vocabulary.
Composition:
There may not be a need to re-write all three rough drafts. Please check them closely for spelling, dress-ups, complete sentences, paragraph indents, etc. Please place Damocles and the King rough draft in your students campus binder in the composition section. We will be writing the final draft for the next week. We will be using the checklist at the end of the lesson to grade the final draft. Reminder: each vocabulary word from the current lesson that is used in the rough draft is worth 1 extra credit point each (3 points possible).
Continue to practice proper formation of cursive letters at home. Writing on notebook paper, rather than handwriting paper is new for some students this year. Please help your student with this transition.
Reading:
We will start the reading of George vs. George this week. Please ask your child to orally narrate a summary of what they read and engage in discussion with them.
Science:
The answer to the science review quiz can be found in the digital teacher's book on page 76.
Here is a link to the digital copy.

Memory:
Please spend time during your school day to work on our school wide scripture, 'We Thank Thee' poem, geography map & song, history timeline song, and Periodic Table poem. Feel free to get creative and practice these in the car, at bedtime, or during meals.
