Math-
We
continue with equivalent fractions by division and comparing fractions this
week. 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 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
will be assembling our report on “Men Who Changed the World” this week. Students will re-write their final drafts of
Benjamin Franklin, Louis Braille, and Thomas Edison, as well as add their
introductory statement and final clincher in neat cursive. They should turn
their paper in on Monday 4/2, 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 &
song, and history timeline 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 begin our final unit in
science this week called Organic Compounds. This unit is 4 weeks long.
Blessings!
