Reading: This week we learned about first and third person point of view. On Thursday, the students took their first Latin/Greek test. I'll be returning those to the students on Monday. If you child received a 1, please be sure to sign and return the test so I know you have seen it. Students received a new spelling list distributed to them on 10/2/17. The next spelling test is 10/12. Next week, we will be introducing character traits. In addition, students will be getting new Latin/Greek roots. The next test for Latin/Greek will be 10/19.
Writing: This week in cursive, we finished learning upper case letters. Next week, students will be given a cursive booklet to practice cursive even more. We also began writing our rough and final draft of our opinion piece on ants this last week. Next week, students will be finishing up on their final drafts.
Grammar: This week, we reviewed adjectives and took an assessment. We also began learning about verbs. Next week, we will learn about regular and irregular verbs, superlative and comparative adjectives, and adverbs.
Projects: This week we worked in small groups to build a prototype of compound machines that will help keep their egg from breaking in our Egg Drop Project. Next week, we will be testing the compound machines. We will also be starting our next project by creating a Me Map.
Homework: Read 20 minutes everyday. Study spelling list (assessment 10/12). Study Latin/Greek words for assessment (assessment 10/19).
