Ms. Tovey's Blog

I would like to begin by apologizing for not posting a blog next week. My blog was written and saved in word and apparently that is where it spent the week.

English
We will be beginning the next chapter in the English book this week. The focus of this chapter is adjectives.

Writing
We will spend the week working on How to... writing.

Science
This week the children will be introduced to the gods that the planets were named for and also we will learn about the planet Mercury. To date your child should have solar system vocabulary, the extra credit question, and notes on the sun in his/her notebook.

English
We will continue the chapter on adjectives this week. To date we have only covered p. 292 and 293 in the book.
Writing
I did not begin the "How to" assignment with the children writing last week due to the amount of absences. My plan is to begin the assignment this week.
Science
This week we will discuss the gods and goddesses the planets were named for and the children will be introduced to Mercury. To date your child should have in his/her notebook: Solar system Vocab, notes on the sun, and the nine planets in order.

English
We will continue the chapter on Adjectives this week. I hope to cover pages 296 - 299 this week.
Writing
There will not be a formal writing assignment this week. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will be used for the "How to" presentations. If you have not already, please look over your child's paper and practice their presentation with them a few times.
Science
This week I hope to cover Mars and Venus
