"Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats."-Amos Bronson Alcott
Hello, This week in Literature we will cover Chapters 11-14, with nightly homework of vocabulary defining, key question and summarizing. Since Literature classes are held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, the summaries allow students to retain information from the chapter and provide a quick review before class when several days have passed before discussions. These assignments are being graded for completion and accuracy, and as a means of accountability for completing reading assignments. One chapter is assigned each night, with two chapters assigned over the weekends. In Writing and Grammar, we will be practicing writing skills by reading about the life of Louisa May Alcott, creating an outline, and writing paragraphs about how her life is reflected in her famous work, Little Women. There will not be any homework for this assignment, since it will be a project worked on collaboratively as a class. We will continue our Spalding routine with homework on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday night. Students should be completing assignments neatly and with excellence. If you see that your child is receiving poor scores on Spalding and phonogram assessments, please ensure that he/she is reviewing unknown phonograms regularly. Have a great week! Warmly, Mrs. Baird
