It is amazing how quickly the time has flown! Thanksgiving is just over a week away! Our Grandpal's are coming this Friday! Please let me know if your child does not have a Grandpal and I will try to find one for him/her!
Reading: This week we are continuing to read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe together as we look for details in the text that we can use to make inferences about the characters. We will also be talking about some "Signposts" this week that we, as readers, need to pay attention to when we come across them in our reading. Such as: Contrast and Contradictions (when a character does something unexpected that contradicts with what we know about the character) and Aha Moments (when a character has a revelation). Our vocabulary words this week come from chapter 3 of the book and I think you can tell just by the words that it won't be the happiest of chapters: stern, miserable, hoax, sneer, spiteful, occasion, wretched, vanish, gilded and merely.
Spelling: The compound words this week are not necessarily difficult to spell, but the tricky part will be remembering if it is one word, two, or joined by a hyphen.
Language: This week we will be wrapping up our study of verbs and will have a test on Wednesday. The students will need to be able to list and identify verbs as well identify if the words are in past, present or future tense. Students will also need to be able to provide different forms of the same verb for different tenses (such as flew, fly and will fly) and choose the correct form of a verb so that the subject and verb agree.
Math: We are finishing up our multiplication menu this week and beginning to work on double digit multiplication. Ask your child about some of the challenging problems he/she has solved in the last week and a half.
Alabama History: We will be discussing the French and Indian War and the beginning of the American Revolution.
Science: This week we are investigating how force plays a part in making objects move.
