This Week's Academics
MUR - This week we will be reading the Hans Christian Anderson Fable, "The Emperor's New Suit." It is a fun story that the students will find very entertaining! We will really be looking at the characters in the story and comparing and contrasting them along with looking at the plot of the story and working on sequencing. Along with the story we will work out of our Wordly Wise books which focus on vocabulary and also out of our Analytical Grammar books where we have already started working with nouns. We will dive into adjectives and articles this week.
Spelling and Concept Question Board homework will be sent home on Monday and is due Friday. This will occur every week, unless we have a week that is shorter than 4 days.
MUM - This week we will continue to work with estimation. This is a hard concept for many students to master! Basic facts homework will be sent home on Monday and is due Friday. This will occur every week, unless we have a week that is shorter than 4 days.
Geography - This week we will start by going over our mapping tests. Then we will jump into our second geography unit which is world mountains. This unit is only four chapters long so we will be able to get through it this week. This quiz is tentatively set for Monday, September 26th.
Writing - This week we will finish writing out friendly letters and send them off to Arizona to our new pen pals. We will continue to work in our cursive handwriting books and also review the basics of writing good sentences and paragraphs.
Read Aloud - I always start the year off reading "The Underneath" by Kathi Appelt. It is a touching story and gets the kids hooked within the first few pages. Ask your kids about the book, they will have a LOT to tell you!
