Next week is CTP testing. We have been helping students understand the concept of completing things within a time limit, as the tests will be timed. We do not want them to be anxious about this, but diligent with staying on task.

Math-

We are going to go over information in Unit 9 on Areas and Perimeters to prepare for this area on the CTP test. We will then be starting the concept of Time. We feel it will not be a difficult Unit because everyone knows the time for lunch and end of school! Please check for understanding of concepts each day.

Please spend no more than 10 minutes on mental math and continue to work on math fact mastery at home.

Handwriting-

Continue to watch for proper letter formation of cursive and print letters at home. Practice the specific letters your child is struggling with. We will be frequently taking a grade for handwriting assignments. 

IEW-

We will be assembling our report on “My Favorite Activity” this week.  Students will be able to use their own ideas using all of the concepts that they have learned, including writing in neat cursive. They should turn their paper in on Monday 4/9, stapled in this order: checklist, final draft, rough draft.

Reading-

We continue in Little Pilgrim’s progress, an allegory detailing the journey of Christian and Christiana from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City. This book is rich with spiritual content, and we encourage you to read this book along with your child and discuss.  We look forward to our class discussions.

Memory-

We are currently working on Matthew 5:1-9, Song of the Settlers quarter 4 poem, British Isles map and song. The science poem Orgaincs is for reinforcement at home. We will not be assessing science poems for the remainder of the year, but you may use them at home to discuss the concepts being taught.

Science-

We are in week two of our final unit in science this week called Organic Compounds. This unit is 4 weeks long.

May your week be truly blessed!
