We had a great week and I am so thankful to Mrs. Chilson for her support and for making 4C her new home. I am also happy to announce that Nathaniel Conforti has arrived! Both baby and momma are doing well. Your students were able to see a picture of Mrs. Conforti's adorable baby and we spent some time making a book of advice for her.
Lessons This Week:
This week on Wednesday and Thursday morning we will have Galileo testing. Wednesday will be math and Thursday will be ELA. The only preparation is that your students are well rested and have had a good breakfast.
Spalding: This week, students will study their next 20 words. For nightly Spalding homework, students should have the words dictated to them by someone at home and should write them one time each in syllables. Any words that are misspelled should be written again for additional practice. We will take our 29-word Spalding test on Friday.
Writing/Grammar: Students will continue their writing practice this week. They have done a great job with our writing practice days and I can see that they are improving on their writing stamina. You should be very proud of the work they are doing and the focus that they have for these long assignments.
Math: This week, students will take a cumulative review test on units 1-6 and continue their study of decimals. They will learn about adding and subtracting decimals.
History: Students will continue learning about the American Revolution.
Science: Students will continue their study of geology this week. We will take our Unit 7 test and we will spend the remainder of the quarter doing review for AIMS.
Literature: We will continue reading Carry On, Mr. Bowditch this week. Please send your copy of this book to school with your student in advance. For nightly homework, students will read a book of their choosing for 20 minutes every night, unless otherwise specified. Students will keep their quarterly reading log in their yellow take-home folder. All reading logs are due at the end of the quarter.
Greek and Latin Roots: On Wednesday, students will be learning their next four roots on roots #72-75. The review quiz will be over last week’s roots #69-71. The multiple choice test on 1-75 will be next week
Poetry: Students will learn their next poem for recitation, “Paul Revere’s Ride” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Recitations for this poem will take place on Monday, March 2.
