Math-

We are finishing the concept of Time this week, then starting Geometry. 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. There will be a math facts assessment on 4/23/18.

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 starting our report on “A Special Day” 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. We have learned 51 vocabulary words this year. The test will be on Wednesday.  Please have students bring a couple of their favorite IEW papers, to share.

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. Mrs. Emmons has shared information on a video that goes along with this book so we are hoping to incorporate it soon.

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 finishing our final unit in science this week called Organic Compounds. There will now be a heavy concentration on the science projects. We want each person to feel very confident in their presentation to classmates, family and friends!

Be sure to check Alma weekly. May you enjoy your Monday off and be truly blessed!
