This week in Spalding we will continue to add words to our Spalding Notebooks. We will also complete Rule Page 3 on which we learn Rule 10. Rule 10 states: Words of multiple syllables (begin) in which the second syllable (gin) is accented and ends in one consonant, with one vowel before it, need another final consonant (be gin' + ning) before adding a suffix that begins with a vowel. Confusing as this may sound now, ask your scholar about it on Wednesday or Thursday and they will be able to explain it to you beautifully! We will have a spelling and phonogram test on Friday as well as our monthly Morrison McCall 50 word test.
In math this week we will begin our unit on Area and Perimeter. Through hands on experiences we will discover that area is the amount of flat space a shape covers and perimeter is the distance around the outside of the shape. We will have a quiz over area on Thursday.
Language arts this week includes reading and narrating (both orally and in writing) a selection from the book Babe: the Gallant Pig. We will also be reviewing the four types of sentences.
In literature we continue our journey through Little House on the Prairie. We will have a comprehension quiz on Tuesday over chapters 18-21. We will also have a seminar discussion on Friday.
This week we turn to science and continue our exploration of the classification of animals.
A look ahead:
March 9: No school - ACTE in-service.
March 12 - 16: Spring Break!
