Class activities for Monday, February 4
Spelling: We reviewed adding suffixes onto words when the final letter is doubled, as in stopped or running. This is the skill that will be tested on tomorrow’s spelling test.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences of seven or more words each are due on Fridays.
Reading: None today.
Writing: We talked about explaining evidence in an essay by connecting the evidence to the theme. A writer can do this by talking about an example from the book, then saying, “This shows that…” to connect the example to the theme.
Students also continued to draft their literary essay project.
The next piece of writing, a literary essay (here’s an example), is due Friday, February 8. Students should be finishing their essay draft soon.
Math: We practices estimating quotients. Homework is to finish Jouranl P7-2.
Science: None today due to our math skills practice time.
Social Studies: We stated to learn about the regions of colonies in early America. Homework is to finish notebook p. 39.
