Academics:
We continue with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, with chapters 5-7 this week. The students are doing a better job with forming their sentences for the comprehension questions. Please continue to encourage them to read these over and correct any mistakes before turning them in.

In Meteorology we will study clouds, fog, and trade winds. In history, we will discuss Martin Luther King, Jr. and continue with our study of Islam. In math, we continue with decimals and will have a short quiz on Friday, as well as, a lesson. Finally, in grammar, we are learning about quotations and continuing with diagramming sentences.

Last Friday, we ended our week with no missing homework! I hope this is a trend that will continue. Please encourage your child to not only finish his/her homework but to complete it with excellence.

Needed: Tissue! We are down to our last box.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Gore
