BIBLE: Proverbs 3:5-6 We’re spending some time exploring the ways God provides for our physical and nonphysical needs. We’re going to be working on a service project again soon. Stay tuned!
READING: We’re finishing up on Number the Stars. We took our test over it today. I’ll grade all our work in that packet this week and get those back to you.
Then we start From the Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler - this is such a fun book! It also has incredible vocabulary. It wasn’t historical fiction when I first read it, but it is now. Technology has really changed how this story might work nowadays. We learn a little about the past pre-smart phones and internet.
Reading logs for March: goal is 4 titles that are fully text (no graphic novels, etc.) and at least 100 pages in length. Books can be fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or biography.
LANGUAGE ARTS: Verb tenses- past, present, and future, state of being verbs-- we’ll also work with correcting inappropriate subject and verb matches! Then we’ll work on helping verbs.
SPELLING: Lesson 24 review, Test 24 Friday
SOCIAL STUDIES: The first few decades of our country were marked by growing pains as we tried to determine what kind of country we were going to be! This is a neat section of history for most children. Please help your students study for their states and capitals if they are struggling. They might need a reminder to look over their maps each night.
