Week of May 12 to 16

What We Learned this Week:

Bible: We reviewed and took the Unit 14 chapter test this week. Next week, we will start our Isaiah unit.

Math: This week, the students reviewed and took the Unit 7 chapter test. We are looking forward to starting geometry next week!

Reading: We are continuing to read and discuss "Number the Stars." The students are also continuing on with reading their novels as they met with their book club this week.

Writing: We have been working hard on our personal expertise essays. We have been working on finding a strong quote from a reputable source to back up our knowledge in addition to making sure that our introduction paragraphs hook our attention from the start.

Spelling: There will be NO more weekly spelling lists for the rest of the school year! Yay! However, the students will be taking one final spelling test- the 4th Grade High Frequency Word Test. The test will happen sometime after Memorial Day. I will communicate an exact date(s) later. For now, the students are absolutely welcomed to study and prepare for this test at home on their own time. Here is the 4th Grade High Frequency List. 

Homework (Week of May 19 to 23): I will ONLY be assigning the reading log homework and the math log homework.
