This week we in Spalding we will add 31 new words to our Spalding notebooks! Spalding is the one area of homework each night that always requires help from a parent. Please dictate the entire list of words to your scholar three times. Students will write the words with markings and rules. Please review and correct any mistakes. Spalding work must always be written in cursive. This practice is integral to learning the spelling words and helping to ingrain the rules and phonograms that have been learned in class. We will have a spelling and phonogram test on Friday, September 22.
In math are solving one and two step word problems while also working on mental math and addition of 4 digit numbers. We will have a quiz over word problems on Wednesday.
Grammar this week will introduce diagramming simple sentences. We will have a quiz on Friday. In writing, we will continue to formulate summaries. We are writing 4-6 sentence paragraphs with an emphasis on main events and details. We will have a comprehension quiz on this weeks' selection of "Ali Baba and the Forty Theives" on Friday.
This week we will begin reading Aladdin and Other Tales from the Arabian Nights in literature. We look forward to some great discussions of virtues demonstrated in these stories.
In history this week we continue our study of the rivers of the world. Last week we learned major rivers in Africa, Australia, and Europe. Please review the location and facts learned about these rivers for a quiz on Tuesday. We will then continue learning the rivers in Asia, North America, and South America.
