This week in Spalding we will add 21 new words to our Spalding notebooks! We will have a spelling and phonogram test on Friday, November 17.
In math this week we continue to wrestle with division with remainders and will move into dividing numbers in the hundreds. As you help your students with homework, please consider providing manipulatives for them to group as they visualize the problems, this can be as simple as a box of crayons or some raisins.
Language arts this week will center around grammar. We will introduce helping verbs and continue with diagraming sentences. We will also continue to orally narrate a summary of a selected reading.
We are thoroughly enjoying reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe together in class and have been able to have so many wonderful discussions based around the happenings in this story. I was very pleased with all of the insights into character and thoughts about actions that the scholars expressed in our seminar discussion last week! This week we will have a comprehension quiz over chapters 9-12 on Thursday. Please look for review questions on Wednesday evening.
This week we will continue in our Science unit on Astronomy.
