Reading: The students received 2 articles and together we highlighted important information. Then independently they each took the information to write a paragraph.
They received their new spelling words on Monday. I gave them the challenge again that if even gets a 3 on the test I will bring in a treat. They also had a Latin/Greek test on Thursday.
Writing: They continued researching and writing on their continent. They are still having a hard time determining the difference between a continent, country and a state. As we continue our writing and our project I'm hoping they grasp this topic more.
Grammar: This week they learned how to correctly capitalize a title and where commas go in an address.
Projects: We finished up the autobiography maps and now are returning to the continent research.
MISC: I am going to be sending home a bookorder on Monday. It says I will submit on Thursday. I can wait until Monday 2/29 if anyone needs me to.
In reading, as a whole, the class is not going back into their text to find their answers and therefore they are getting them wrong. I am making them redo their papers when this happens. Some are having to go back a third time. Will you please stress to them the importance of always going back and finding the answers and not just guessing.
