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!
This coming week we'll begin Unit 4-- multiplying fractions
Sincerely,
Mr. Dorazio
History:
We'll be finishing up the Reformation, bringing together everything from Martin Luther to Christianity and Catholicism.
Science:
This week, we started learning about living things--how to tell if something is living by how it interacts (or doesn't!) with its environment. We'll also focus on the flow of energy from one living thing to another.
Grammar/Writing:
In Grammar next week, we'll start working with predicate adjectives. Students will be familiarized with the definition of a predicate adjective, and finding them in the sentence.
In Writing, we'll work on using figurative language and continue identifying points of view.
