Hello, In Little Women students will be reading chapters 27, 29, 30 and 32 this week, skipping chapters in between. This will allow us to keep a good pace to finish the novel by the end of the quarter. Nightly reading and completion of vocabulary and summary assignments will continue as it has been. In class we are able to refer to the summaries as a tool to recall chapters that students may have read over the weekend and need refreshing about. We will continue to work on vocabulary development by defining and using new words from the text. In Grammar, we will focus on understanding how parts of speech interact in sentences, and apply this knowledge to understanding words in context. Comma rules will be reviewed in order for students to reduce comma split errors in writing assignments. Literary devices will be discussed and identified in literature, and students will review subject verb agreement in practice exercises. Please continue to encourage your scholars to complete all assignments in their best handwriting. I have noticed a marked improvement in Spalding homework and appreciate the work you do at home with your child to encourage them to be excellent in their assignments. Have a wonderful week! Warmly, Mrs. Baird
