Since we're near the end of first quarter of school, I would like to reflect on some of the topics that we've been studying and learning about so far this school year.
LANGUAGE ARTS: We reviewed the importance grammar & conventions (especially colons, semicolons, and ellipsis...) through our Daily Language Review. We also learned the benefit of personal writing/reflections through our weekly journal questions and guidance goal setting.
Our first quarter bonus word in spelling isPNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANIOSIS.
LITERATURE: We just finished reading our first novel The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare. At times, it seemed a little bit like a Puritan soap opera; however, there are invaluable life lessons learned through the experiences and characters in the book. "People are afraid of things they don't understand."
MATH: Chapters one and two have kept us busy with algebra basics, like expressions, equations, and inequalities.
Please continue to monitor grades using Skyward!
