Below is what your scholars will be working on this week:
 
In Language Arts, we will be starting a new book! Tomorrow, we will begin our exploration of Antione de Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince. In Spalding, we will continue our study of spelling with 30 new words. In grammar, we will be focusing on commas and contractions. In writing, we will be focusing on identifying central themes and details. We will also be reviewing our linking verbs, predicate nominatives, and predicate adjectives. Our idiom this week is "a feather in your cap". Our poem is "Some One" by Walter de la Mare.
 
In Math, we will be continuing to interpret new data and creating bar graphs and tables. This will carry us through this week. Next week, we will be testing on everything that the students have learned in  math this year.
 
In Science, we will be starting our new unit that is focused on sound and the human ear.
 
In History, we will be starting a new unit on the Vikings!
