English
We will continue with the chapter on pronouns this week. To date I have only covered pages 358 and 359.
Writing
On Monday, the children will be given a short, creative writing assignment; the topic of the assignment is "The Greatest Story Ever Told". The children will be given a story starter about a boy named Marvin who has a story to tell his classmates about a strange animal he has encountered. (sounds a little boring when I reread it, but I assure you it is not)
On Tuesday, we will begin the fourth and final type of writing, Persuasive Writing. I will begin with teaching the children how to make an outline to keep their ideas organized. The first assignment will be an easy one. The children will write a paragraph trying to convince you, their parents, to get them something they really want.
Science
We will begin the Apollo program this week.
Important Date
