Plan for 10/28 through 11/1

Math

On Tuesday, the students will be taking a test which covers a few division problems, some addition and subtraction, as well as several multiplication problems.  Students need to review, review, review, and memorize, memorize, memorize their multiplication facts.

The rest of this week, the students will be learning how to divide with a remainder.  Six will be introduced as a factor.  Please continue to drill multiplication facts with your child daily.

Language Arts

Rules for making singular words that end in "y" plural will be introduced this week.  Also, irregular plural words (such as children and mice) will be introduced.  We will review all types of ways to make singular words plural.

Next Monday (Nov. 4th), there will be a test on all types of plural words.

Reading

We will be starting Swiss Family Robinson this week.  There may be surprise quizzes on what we've been reading.  Please continue to encourage your child to read for at least 20 minutes each evening.  I plan to introduce a Reading Log incentive starting in November.

Science

Students need to continue to work on their Science Notebook projects which will be on-going for several weeks.  There is not a due date... yet.  Please carefully read the information sheet I sent home last week.  Your child's grade on this project will depend in large part on how well he or she follows directions.

There will probably be a quiz on Wednesday mostly covering the terms on page 65.

History

Most students did well (earning an A or B) on their test this past Friday.  Thank you for being diligent in reminding your child to study and perhaps in helping him or her to study.  This week, we will be looking at William Penn.  I have already learned something new about him that I didn't know.  So, I'm hoping it will be fun for all of us as we learn together!  There will be a quiz on Friday covering pages 62-71.

Spelling

Wednesday will be the pre-test for list 12.  And, the final test will be on Thursday or Friday, depending on how things go after the pre-test on Wednesday.
