Week 21

Good evening! I hope everyone enjoyed their day off! Here's what's on the agenda for the week:

Literature: We are continuing Cricket in Times Square - we'll be reading chapters 4 and 5 this week and then reviewing vocabulary found within the first five chapters. Vocab words this week: looming, leery, instinct

Spalding: Only 19 words this week - Test on Friday! Words: act, been, be, yesterday, among, question, quest, doctor, size, December, dozen, there, their, they're, tax, number, October, reason, fifth

Writing: narration, copy work, and dictation exercises from Five Children and It by Edith Nesbit

Grammar: We are editing, classifying, and unscrambling sentences - labeling the following parts of speech: subject noun and verb (heart of the sentence), adjectives, and adverbs.

Math: We are working on subtracting large numbers mentally!

History: We are leaving the ancient cultures behind and jumping into the history behind the Constitution. We will begin by reviewing the causes of the Revolutionary War and then start to discuss the writing.

Science: We are continuing our study of the human body and learning about organs and the four types of tissue.

Poem: Continue practicing Smart by Shel Silverstein! We will recite it in two weeks.

Idiom: "Get up on the wrong side of the bed" <-- This one may sound familiar to some! ;)

Have a great week!
