Hello, I hope you are refreshed from both the long weekend and the beautiful weather! Here is a brief overview of what to expect this week... Reading assignments for Little Women will not include any vocabulary and summary this week, as I want scholars to simply enjoy reading the specific chapter assignments, which will include some themes that would be good to discuss with your child. The chapters that will be read this week for homework will be chapters 34, 35 and 36. We will be reading chapter 40 together in class on Friday. An excellent exercise for students at home is to orally summarize what they have read to a parent or sibling. Chapters 41-42 will be assigned for reading over next weekend. We are nearing the end of our 47 Chapter novel! Spalding words will be taught on Tuesday and Wednesday, to be tested on Friday. Please ensure that words are written neatly for nightly homework practice. In Grammar and Writing we have been discussing figurative language, such as metaphors and similes, and we will continue to identify these literary devices in Little Women. We will also be identifying examples of imagery in "Solitude", which will be recited in class on Friday. Subject verb agreement will be practiced to improve scholars' written work. Time will be spent in class writing paragraphs with the support of key word outlines. Good luck to our Bard Competition competitors as they recite their poems tonight in the MPR at 6PM! Have a great week. Warmly, Mrs. Baird
