This week’s class motto is: Organization
is the Key
Last week we discussed organization and
the importance of being neat, tidy, and organized. This is something they can
practice at home as well. This week we continue the motto and we practice our
proper desk organization plan, homework plan, and agenda plan.

vocabulary words to study during the week. The words are associated with 4 new
roots. During the week, students will practice spelling these words and using
them as well. There will be a vocabulary test on Friday. This week the students will also study words
from Pollyanna. They will learn their
meaning and how to spell them. During the week, students will practice spelling
these words and using them as well. There will be a vocabulary test on Friday.
Language arts- We will continue reading Pollyanna. We had our first great classroom moment last week when all at once the students knew that Pollyanna was about to do something wrong. They all gasped, and then laughed. It was a great moment. Nothing better than a class of 28 students all on the same page (no pun intended) with their emotions. We also discussed inference.
Grammar- We will continue our
work in the Shurley Grammar book, covering adjectives, nouns, verbs, sentence
structure, and articles, predicates, and complete subjects. Students will also
write in their daily journals.
History/Geography – We will continue our study of Europe in the Middle Ages. This is an exciting unit and is our first step into history. This week we will study Charlemagne and the feudal society. Students will take oaths of loyalty and see just how difficult it is to keep a promise or an oath.
Science–This week we continue
our study of geology. We will study volcanoes. We will create our own
volcanoes. There will be activities each day. There will be nightly homework.
