Math:
We will be starting Primary Mathematics 3B after the Christmas Break. Please send it with child in January.
Mental math (MM) can be found toward the
back of the Home Instructor Guide. You should spend no longer than 10
minutes on MM; students do not need to complete the entire exercise.
Grammar:
A copy of chapter 15 test can be found in
your child's campus binder. Skip exercise 3 & 7. You will not be
doing any Shurley vocabulary at home for the remainder of the year as we
will be focusing on IEW vocabulary.
Composition:
Please keep Pecos Bill rough draft in your students campus binder in the composition section. We
will be writing a section of Pecos Bill over the next two weeks. We
will then combine all three weeks into one final draft. Please check them closely for spelling, dress-ups, complete sentences, paragraph indents, etc. We
will be using the checklist at the end of the lesson to grade the final
draft. Reminder: each vocabulary word from the current lesson that is
used in the rough draft is worth 1 extra credit point each (3 points
possible). Student may have the opportunity to read one of their stories
for the lower grades (Damocles and the King, Little Dutch Boy, or Pecos
Bill). You will be informed prior to the date so that they can bring their stories to school.
Continue to practice proper formation of
cursive letters at home. Writing on notebook paper, rather than
handwriting paper is new for some students this year. Please help your
student with this transition.
Reading:
We will continue the reading your classical choice this week. Please ask your child to orally narrate a summary
of what they read and engage in a discussion with them.
Science:
The answer to the science review quiz can be found in the digital teacher's book on page 104 and 108.
Here is a link to the digital copy.

Please spend time during your school day to work on our school wide
scripture, 'We Thank Thee' poem, geography map & song, history
timeline song, and Periodic Table poem. Feel free to get creative and
practice these in the car, at bedtime, or during meals.
