Math-

We begin fractions this week and will stay here for the next couple of weeks. Fractions are so fun! We hope the students enjoy them as much as we do.

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 completion grade for the handwriting assignments. Please have your child bring their book to and from school each day from here on out.

IEW-

We begin our lesson on Thomas Edison this week, which is part of a larger report we will be assembling on “Men Who Changed the World” in a couple of weeks.  Please proofread their rough draft with a red pen (if possible) for spelling, punctuation, dress-ups (underlined AND labeled), paragraph indentation, double spaced, make sure their title reflects 2-3 keywords from the final clincher, etc. They will be writing their final draft in cursive on Wednesday and Thursday. They should turn their paper in on Monday 3/26, stapled in this order: checklist, final draft, rough draft. Students can earn up to 3 points extra credit for using this lessons vocabulary words in their paper (prolific, phonograph, resourceful). Vocabulary words should be underlined and labeled “voc” in the right margin.  Students may use some creativity in their story, as long as the theme remains.

Reading-

This week we begin 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, USSR map & song, and history timeline song. The science poem Acids and Bases 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.

Blessings!
