I hope that everyone had a great weekend! In math, we will continue learning about the commutative, associative, and distributive properties. In reading, we will read several short story passages and do some
test prep. In writing, we will begin our weekly 5 paragraph essays. In social studies, we will read about Columbus coming to America and do several activities around it.
Please note that we have less than 3 weeks until the end of the quarter! Beginning today, I am starting a homework detention rule. If your child misses two or more homework assignments in a week, they will receive afterschool detention. Sometimes, I do not receive ANYTHING from some students each week.
This is detrimental to their education. I assign homework that will help your child master certain skills. They need to be doing their homework!
Spelling words for the week:
1. dew
2. boast
3. cruise
4. route
5. loaf
6. growth
7. youth
8. slope
9. bruise
10. flow
11. flute
12. subdue
13. pursuit
14. reproach
15. presume
Challenge Words
16. foreign
17. frequent
18. forgave
19. fundamental
20. feasible
