Week 13

I thought we had a great first week back to class! The kids had good recall and I think we are off to a great beginning to the second half of the year!


Before we meet Thursday:

• Be sure to complete a couple of Analytical Task Sheets with the new sentence pattern (p. 213-218), especially since we ran out of time to do one in class. 

• Review the shaded area of Chart M: Complex Sentences" that we looked at in class. Focus on recognizing and understanding this pattern. 

• Review previous charts with oral drills. 

• Complete KWO's that we started in class for multiple source research project. Complete fused outline and complete paragraph. We will read these in class, if the students are willing. 
• Follow Lesson 18 checklist on p. 125 for list of dress-ups, etc.

• Begin looking for sources for your Faces of History paper. Library books, timeline cards, Story of the World books, or the Internet (although internet sources should be carefully selected for credibility...this is an excellent time to have a talk with your student about credible internet sources and how to select them). 

Faces of History

Carl - Martin Luther
Caroline V. - Joan of Arc
Caroline S. - Queen Elizabeth I
Stella - Empress Adelaide of Italy
Tripp K. - Alfred, the Great
Trip S. - Ivan, the Terrible
Selby - Mary, Queen of Scots

Hope you have a great day!

P.S. I'm really going to start sending these out Thursday after class instead of halfway through the week. :)
