Friday

Ask your child their score on 2-2-2: 8 pts.  A lot of direction is still being shared with the students as to puntuation, what summarizing is, paraphrasing, capitalization, underlining the name of the book, check to see if you're spelling words correctly (right from the story or the dictionary), handwriting, spacing between words, underlining in color the vocab. words, and using the word appropriately in the sentence they write. I always suggest they use the sentence in the book or to shorten it, as many students are not writing the word correctly when they think of their own sentence.  The 5 entries should be in the "Literacy" notebook, not around math problems, or religion notes...many students have all subjects mixed together.  The 5 entries should take two and a half pages only, and follow last week's two and a half pages.  When I speak to the students about their understanding of the word, it is important that they know what the word means.

Review "letter writing" dos and don'ts! (see song)

Ask your child their score on the 9pt. geography test. This was on 9 of the easiest states. We added 10 more states plus Hawaii and Alaska, that we already studied. Colored pencils are needed. Washington, Oregon, Idaho Nevada, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

There will be a quiz coming up on temperature and measurement. (highlighted on song)
