Week of October 4

 Memory Verse:

"For by it the elders obtained a good report."  Hebrews 11:2

Spelling list is number 7.  I had been having the students make flash cards in class, but since many weren't using them, and some said they didn't help, we won't do them this week.  If you want, you can make your own at home with 3"x5" index cards. 

Spelling City is a website you may already be familiar with.  There are games to play that have our words in them.  It's now ready to go.  Here's the link:

Other quizzes and tests:

• Language quiz 3 on Monday.  It will cover making plural nouns with the -y to i and add -es rule, as well as the four types of sentences (declarative, interrogative, exclamatory, and imperative)
• Science practice quiz on Tuesday over pages 59-80.
• Science practice test on Thursday over chapter 3.  (As a reminder, if labelled "practice," it is not intended for a full-weight grade; however, if all goes well, I may use it for a classwork grade, so that they get credit for doing the work.)
• Math test on Wednesday (the usual cumulative material that includes addition, subtraction, some money counting, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and shapes of pentagon, rhombus, and trapezoid).
• History practice quiz on Wednesday over pages 70-90 in book, mostly about Benjamin Franklin.
• History test on Friday, over pages 55-90.  The continents and oceans will be on it, too, but we've been over and over those in class. Note: This one is NOT labelled "practice." The students will bring home a copy of this study guide, but here it is again in a link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TofnBsFDx-nvYNOQnDzfCOn4NQjaJYa4fGN_j6bz-9w/edit?usp=sharing
• Bible Memory (above) on Friday.
• Spelling test, list 7, on Friday. (trial still on Thursday)
