This week promises to be full of learning and every busy!
As we move into colder weather in the dessert, please remember to refer to the student handbook for appropriate dress. In class, only sweaters purchased from Anton Uniforms or Dennis Uniforms with a school patch may be worn. Other sweaters or jackets may be worn outside. Young ladies may wear white or navy tights. Black and gray are not acceptable and leggings may never be worn at school.
This week in Spalding we will add 19 new words to our Spalding notebooks! We will have a spelling and phonogram test on Thursday, November 9th.
In math this week we are moving into division with remainders. As you help your students with homework, please consider providing manipulatives for them to group as they visualize the problems.
Language arts this week will center around writing and editing. The scholars are learning to create a key word outline from which they will then write a one paragraph summary. We will also introduce editing and rewriting.
We are thoroughly enjoying reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe together in class and I hope you are able to enjoy it as you read and discuss with your scholars at home also. This week on Thursday we will be having a seminar discussion over what we have read thus far. Scholars have been provided with questions to consider and discuss with parents as they prepare for this seminar day. We will also be having a comprehension quiz over chapters 5-8 on Wednesday. Please look for review questions on Tuesday.
In history we continue our study of Ancient Rome and are specifically learning about the Punic Wars this week. We have hand many wonderful class discussions about this rich time in history and look forward to many more this week. There will be a history quiz on Thursday.
