English
We will continue our study of verbs this week. To date we have covered pages 152 – 155. (Action verbs and helping verbs) This week I plan to cover pages 156 – 161. Like last chapter, this chapter is quite long and has an extensive amount of information. Any additional review time you can give your child will help to make the chapter much easier for them.
Writing
This week the children will be writing a paper on The History of Veterans’ Day. I have a handout that includes all the important dates. As a class we will go over the handout and then each child will create a timeline showing the important dates and what happened on each date. After the timeline is completed we will write an introductory paragraph as a class and then the children will use their timeline to write a paper explaining how Veterans’ Day came to be. When all papers are complete we will write the conclusion as a class.
Science
We will continue or study of the Human Body. To date your child should have notes on cells, tissues, organs, The Nervous System, The Digestive System and the Circulatory System. (These will be given on Monday, 11/12) There will be a quiz Friday on the Nervous, Digestive and Circulatory Systems. Please review your child’s notes with him/ her.
