This week we in Spalding will add thirty-one new words to our Spalding notebooks! Please help your scholar with Spalding homework each night. Spalding words should always be dictated for your student to write and never simply copied. Spalding work must always be written in cursive. Please encourage your scholar to practice forming beautiful letters and words. We will have a spelling and phonogram test on Friday, September 1.
In math we will begin a new unit on mental math strategies.
Grammar this week will be learning about proper nouns and also introduce pronouns. In writing we will continue to formulate summaries focusing on plot, character, setting, and main events.
We will continue learning "The Tide Rises the Tide Falls" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow this week. Our focus will be on reciting with proper pacing and intonation. Recitation will be on Friday.
We will continue reading Trumpet of the Swan this week. The scholars have been pulled into the story and always enjoy hearing the story read in class!
This week we will begin our first science unit! This unit is an overview of the branches of science.
This weekend is our first R&R weekend. There will be no homework sent home on Friday! Enjoy the extra time relaxing with your family!
