HOMEWORK: SPELLING WORKSHEET P. 15 (P.13 IS NOT HOMEWORK)

Hello Lodge Parents and Guardians,

It has been over a week since I last posted on the blog. I apologize to those people who faithfully read my blog. We had a Word Wisdom quiz last Friday over Unit 1, Part 3. If your child did not bring home their quiz grade today, they should tomorrow. I forgot to pass out the quizzes to my last two groups. Students also received participation grades for completing their Word Wisdom workbooks on time. I try to go over this homework in class as well, so they can change their answers if needed.

Last week, I introduced to them an interactive website called "Quizlet." If you type that word into Google, you will be able to go to the website. It is a neat tool to use to learn vocabulary or spelling words. You can create your own flash cards to help review, or you can do a few interactive games and activities. I will try to use some of them in the classroom for the students to help review for quizzes and tests. Last week, we also spent several days on Science as we looked at images of landforms and wrote in our packets how we thought they were formed. We also did a couple of readings in our classroom set of "Earth's Materials" textbooks. The students read the assigned sections with their groupings and they do study questions together. This was a bit of a change of pace from the last time we had science, when we had some lab time with the sand, water, etc. I know some parents are interested in coming in to help. I will keep you updated for the next time to come in to help.

For this week, the students were told today that they will have a Spelling test on Thursday (no school Friday!) and most likely will have a test on Verbs Friday. I am planning a review session Wednesday during class, and we should be ready to test by Thursday. If something changes, I will let you know. I will put the Spelling list on the next blog. Have a great evening!
