If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? - Percy Bysshe Shelley On Friday, scholars were introduced to the March poem for memorization, "O Captain! My Captain!" They should aim to memorize one stanza each week to be ready to recite on March 31st. A copia exercise will be homework for Monday, as students find synonyms to practice replacing words with like parts of speech. Since there will not be Spalding or reading homework this week, students should invest 10 minutes on phonogram review. Additional nightly homework will include worksheets that review parts of speech. In class students will continue to draft paragraphs from key word outlines, as well as practice copywork and dictation skills. Seminar discussions for Little Women will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, so students should have thoroughly completed discussion questions and review the text, to be prepared to contribute to the greater conversation. Students should incorporate 15-20 minutes of reading into nightly homework. We will travel to the Desert Botanical Gardens on Tuesday, so please remember to pack a water bottle and sack lunch for your child. Students will return to the school at 1:30, and will need to remain in class to finish the school day. Have a great week and a happy spring break! Warmly, Mrs. Baird
