Welcome back!
Reminders:
The weather is changing! Make sure your scholar brings an extra layer for mornings and recesses. It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it!
English Language Arts:
This week, we read through "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" Chapter 11. Next week, we will continue the adventure with Caspian, Eustace, and the Pevensies to see what they do next!
**This is a "Classics to Keep" book. Each student should have their own copy to read from and annotate in.
For Poetry, we have started working on "The Bells" by Edgar Allen Poe. We will recite it at the end of the quarter.
Math:
Hello Spartan Family!
We've been multiplying fractions this week; next week, we'll move on to dividing them!
Sincerely,
Mr. Dorazio
History:
We finished learning and assessing our knowledge of the Reformation this week. Next week, we'll begin looking at Europe: its trade methods, exploration, and cultural clashes.
Science:
This week, we finished our focus on food chains and energy transfer. Next week, we'll look into environmental changes and ecosystems.
Grammar/Writing:
In Grammar next week, we'll continue working with predicate adjectives. Students should be familiar with the definition of a predicate adjective, and able to tell the difference in identifying predicate adjectives, predicate nominatives, predicate verbs, linking verbs, and direct objects in sentences.
In Writing, we'll combine point of view, figurative language, descriptions of places, and chronological narratives to write our own articles.
