Reading: This week the students received their spelling words. Everyone will have the same words this time. All week we practiced using these high frequency words correctly. We will continue practicing next week. The students should also be practicing at home. There will be a test on Thursday 1/ 25.
The students took a Latin/Greek test. I was very disappointed with how many students did not study. I remind them daily to study for this test. They also have the new roots in their binders to study at home. Those that received a 1 or a 2 retook the test at the end of the day. We quickly went over the words and then they were give 10 minutes to study. Also all of the students received a 3 after this.
Writing: The students continued working on their snow globe writing.
Grammar: We continued working on plural vs. possessive nouns. This is a very hard concept but they are doing a great job understanding it.
Projects: The students continued working on their weather projects.
* Snack: Every day I have at least 5 students who tell me they do not have a snack. I am no longer bringing extra snacks for students. Please make sure your student brings a snack for the morning and one for the afternoon.
