The Upcoming Week
Memory - At Home: Q2W4 Slips At School: Christmas Program Songs

Religion - Christmas Program

Reading - How to Babysit an Orangutan, outlines. Too many students are waiting until late in the week to start on Reading Journals. Students write one letter, read my response, and then write their second letter. If the first letter is detailed and well written, then no second letter is required. Today there were about 10 students who gave me their first letter. This gives them no chance to write a second letter, which gives them an incomplete in the gradebook.

English - Compound sentences, clauses.

Math - More multiplication facts, inches to the nearest fourth, capacity (fluid ounces, cups, pints, quarts, gallons), decimals.

Science - The Earth (geology - rocks, volcanoes, earthquakes, erosion, etc.)

Social Studies - Begin the Southeast States - Chapter 6.

Spelling - No spelling list. Lesson 12 is a short review lesson.
