There is no MJ for Friday, but you can use this day to catch up on any unfinished work from the week in the MJ. The MJ is not published by Singapore and there may be times it does not completely align. If there are concepts that your student has not covered, you may skip them.

Spelling-Spelling sheets can be found behind the spelling tab in the campus binder. Please continue practicing phonograms and sound cards (dictating the sound and having student write down the phonogram).

Grammar-Workbook and practice book will be completed at home only. The question and answer flow can be found at the end of the cd that came with your Teacher's Manual.

For the first quarter (please discuss with me first beyond first quarter) feel free to have student dictate to you what they want to say, then you may write it for them, skipping lines and they can copy below. Journals can stay at home and will be collected once a quarter for grading.

Memory Work/Geography- Please spend 10-15 minutes every home school day reviewing our map and poem, as well as memory verse. We will also work on this during class. Geography songs can be found on the Fortis homework blog home page under curriculum. Tests consist of students pointing and saying/singing locations from a work bank. Students will recite poems in front of the class from memory. Scripture verses will be a less formal assessment and can be done orally, written, or in small groups.
