Week of December 8th
English
This week the section on irregular verbs will be covered. This is not a difficult section but does require some memorization. All twenty irregular verbs on pages 162 and 164 will be on the English test which is tentatively scheduled for early next week.
Writing
There was not enough time to begin the alliteration project last week so the kids will start working on it Monday. If all goes as planned, by Thursday I will be assigning the next writing assignment. This is a creative writing assignment that has the kids taking on the role of a sport's reporter. The paper will consist of four paragraphs: a catchy introduction, paragraph one will be a brief summary of the game, paragraph 2 will be an interview with their favorite athlete and the conclusion.
Science
There will be a quiz on Friday on the Nervous, Digestive and Circulatory Systems. To date your child should have notes on the Nervous and Digestive Systems. I will begin the Circulatory System on Monday. I will also be adding a few more parts to Herman this week. To date your child should have 11 parts in his/her notebook under the heading Herman.
