Week 15

Good evening! We have a very short week ahead. I know I am looking forward to the long holiday weekend, and I'm sure everyone else is as well! :)

Literature: We will read chapter 11 of the Boxcar Children on Monday as a class. I will also send home project directions for our Boxcar diorama that will be due on December 7th. We will not have reading groups on Tuesday, as our Boxcar Feast is during the Literature and Science blocks. Thank you for signing up to bring items for our party! It will be fun!

Spalding: There are no spelling words this week. Instead we will focus on phonogram review, and we will have a graded WPR (written phonogram review).

Writing: We will do a narration exercise and copy work sentence from the story The Borrowers.

Grammar: Our newest focus is prepositions! We will learn a couple different jingles to remember them, including one set to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". :)

Math: We are taking the Unit 5.1 Test on Monday, chapter 1 of multiplication. We will do a fun turkey activity on Tuesday, reviewing all the aspects of multiplication that we have learned so far - repeated addition, arrays, and factors (skip counting).

History: We are learning about the Trojan War and the trick of the Trojan Horse! We will also make our own Trojan horses.

Idiom: "Practice what you preach" - Act the way you tell others to act!

Poem: The Night before Christmas (Clement C. Moore) - Remember, you only need to pick one stanza to memorize!

Have a FANTASTIC week!
