**Please do not do any of the activities for the Spelling lesson, unless specifically instructed on the blog. We will do most of the activities in class. Thank you!
**Please be sure that you are using the question and answer flow correctly for Shurley Grammar. If you haven't taught this curriculum before and didn't make the training, I'm happy to walk you through it briefly before or after school. (It will only take a couple of minutes:)
Science- Science readings are assigned once a week at home. Students don’t need to bring their Science book to class, but completing the readings at home sets them up for whatever hands-on activity we’ll be doing in class. We won’t cover the entire book, but many students become interested in what they’re learning and want to dive in more so that’s a great opportunity to foster their curiosity.
History- Students will be assigned one chapter and corresponding journal entry per week to complete. This book can stay at home as well, but the journal should come to school. In class we’ll be utilizing living books, short videos, and projects to reinforce the textbook reading. Our focus of study is on the 16 timeline events/people found in the binder. Please practice these regularly. Students will be assessed on them quarterly and they are cumulative. Students don’t need to know the date, but instead should be able to give a short description of what the event or person was.
Geography-Students are learning the Continents and Oceans first. Songs can be found on the homepage of the homework blog, under curriculum. Students don't have to sing (but they may sing if it’s helpful), but do need to be able to point and identify for all geography maps. The maps for assessment do have a black dot marking the countries they should name so students will need to be able to identify the name without relying on the number on the practice map.
