This week we start back into the routine of things. Since we have had time to relax, it will take a little time to get back to the same pace we left off. Things will also be more on the slow side because students are now expected to write in cursive for everything except math. On the fun side, we begin dance on Thursdays.
We will be starting the week with a little review in math, then we will jump into fractions. The lessons are coming from a different curriculum, so we will be working on the topic 9 and 10 from that program. It is still Envision, but the Common Core version. Since we already covered topic 9 and 10 in our version I will refer to these chapters as 9cc and 10cc. I will send home the homework pages for this topic.
In Language Arts we will be increasing our work in Vocabulary. We will also be working on writing an expository/informational essay. Student sentences should now be 10 words long, using adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions (shows position).
I hope you have been working on Science projects, and got some reading squeezed in. Low grade notices will be going out soon, and I will be sending out forms to schedule our next conference (the first week of March).
