Hope you've been staying safe and warm.
Here's what we're planning on for this week.
Academics:
- Monday: makeup Bible memory quiz from last Friday. (Phil. 3:14)
- Monday: Spelling final test, list 18, for those who did not earn an A last Thursday.
- Tuesday: language test over using capital letters for proper nouns, using periods to abbreviate titles (Dr., Mrs., etc) and names of roads (St., Ave., etc), using commas to separate city from state, items in series, and in direct address, and using an apostrophe to show ownership.
- Tuesday: history quiz over Lewis and Clark. Study guide will come home Monday.
- Thursday: math test
- Thursday: Spelling trial, list 12 (yes, 12. We had previously skipped that one.)
- Friday: history test. Study guide will come home Wednesday.
- Friday: final spelling test, list 12
Note: I realize this looks like a lot. I will use class time to help the students prepare for all tests and quizzes. Hopefully, they won't have to do too much studying at home. Please do go over those study guides with your kiddos, though.
Also, there won't be reading homework Monday, like there usually is, to give them time to study.
They will, however, still need to do the spelling homework that they always do on Tuesday.
Reminders:
- January 12: end of the second nine week period.
- January 17: no school (MLK Jr. Day)
- January 18: report cards come home
- February 1: Young Writers Contest due (but may be turned in early)
- February 2: science fair
- Prizes are still waiting for a few students who need to show they can tie their own shoes.
- Valentine's Day falls on a Monday this year. We will have a little class party and exchange valentines. Students may create a box at home if they want to, and if not, I will have little gift bags that they can use to hold them. A class list will come home closer to the date.
Thank you, and God bless!
