ANY PAPER THAT THE CHILD IS DISPLEASED WITH MAY BE CORRECTED, SUBMITTED, AND AVERAGED FOR A BETTER GRADE THE FOLLOWING DAY.

A special THANK YOU for attending the conferences. Including the phone calls, we had 100% support! Please do not wait if you feel a conference is needed. Call me at home or write an e-mail, and I will return the call as soon as possible.

All assignments are given ORALLY after instruction and WRITTEN on the whiteboard daily. It is the child's responsibility to write each assignment in the AGENDA regularly.

Do not forget to go to STUDY ISLAND as it will be open. It is AWESOME.

Reading: Workbook pages73-80 are assigned for the lesson. "The Ch'l-lin Purse" will be an eye-opener for some of our class. This story continues the period of time of WWII. Many students are delving into extra books and Google sites. What a way to learn from the past so that it is never repeated.

REMEMBER: FIVE (5) BOOKS ARE TO BE READ AND TESTS TAKEN PER NINE WEEKS.

One of those will be a BIOGRAPHY with a project to follow.

English: We will be working on a written autobiography leading to a biography book report.

Spelling: Unit 10 with HOMOPHONE words, is the current lesson. The assignment was written on the board Thursday and will be checked this coming Thursday. Pages 66-68, 70.

Science: . We are beginning the animal diversity unit. Workbook and/or worksheets will complete this unit.

Math: DIVISION is following multiplication. Daily work is assigned either through the text or with extra practice being done on worksheets.

Take a few minutes DAILY to do quick reviews of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This brief review will pay great dividends in the long run. (The add/subtract timed tests last week could use some extra work.) SPEAK with your child when traveling, eating, watching comercials, and just one-to-one time to see what is on tap this week.

Please challenge your child to mini moments of practice while in a car, at the table, during commercials, etc. Look at car tags, multiply first and third numerals, add or subtract the numerals and create interesting problems.

Use of PLAYING CARDS will be helpful/FUN activities with Ace as 1 through 9... two players laying 3 to 5 cards down...add, subtract, multiply, expand, use exponents, and other fun activities will be used. (Eventually, we will use cards to increase our fraction skills.) Create largest or smallest possible numeral with the numerical cards, or use as decimal places through the thousandths' place to locate the least possible numeral.
