Greetings Parents,
I hope you have enjoyed the long weekend. On this day, we celebrate the progress we have made as a nation and the great efforts of Dr. King and those like him. May we hope that there will be some among this generation who will stand up for righteousness and peace among men.
Here are the lessons for the week.
Language Arts
Poem: "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes," by Francis William Bourdillon
Idiom: "His bark is worse than his bite."
Spalding: We will be reviewing the phonograms and learning 34 new words.
Literature: The students will take a quiz over literary terms on Tuesday and begin The Jungle Book. Please have students bring their book on Tuesday.
Writing and Grammar: The students will be refining their summarizing skills while reviewing commas, prepositions, and conjunctions.
Math
The students will be introduced to kilometers and how to add and subtract compound units (1km 500m + 750m = 2km 250m). They will finish the week with an assessment over measurement with the metric system.
History
In history the class will continue to learn about the Vikings. In particular, students will discuss longboats, Danelaw, Viking religion, and Eric the Red. On Tuesday, the students will be bringing home a take home quiz that is due on Friday.
Science
In science, students will be assessed on their knowledge of sound on Tuesday. We will look more closely at vocal cords and the ear towards the end of the week. We have also changed our curriculum to be more activity/experiment based. Because of that, the students will not be bringing home packets like before with reading material. However, we wanted to provide parents with some of the information we will be discussing. The content we are providing for you is much greater than what we will be teaching your students. But we hope this will help provide you with opportunities to reinforce your child's learning. The document can be found here. We will not be following the lesson plans in the document.
Best,
Michael Naaktgeboren
