Math:

Keep reviewing the measurement conversions.  
 
We will be starting fractions the first week of March.  This unit will include simplest form and comparing fraction.  It is very important to keep reviewing multiplication facts as this will make finding the simplest form and comparing fraction easier.
 
There is not a lot of review on what was learned in the first semester.  Because of this on the practices during the second semester I will be adding some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems.  We will also be reviewing these concepts in class.

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: 

We are going to continue to use what we have learned in our IEW papers.  This will help the kids not just be able to use the new concept in the grammar workbook but show them how this is used in the writing. 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: 

Final papers will need to written in cursive.  

Please find the checklist in your child's campus binder in the comp. section.  Please check them closely for spelling, dress-ups, complete sentences, paragraph indents, etc.   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).

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 begin reading "Soft Rain A Story of the Cherokee Trail of Tears".  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 140.
Here is a link to the digital copy.

Memory:

Please spend time during your school day to work on our school wide scripture, 'Try Again' poem, geography map & song, history timeline song, preamble, and Mixture, Solutions, Oh My! poem. Feel free to get creative and practice these in the car, at bedtime, or during meals.

Here is a link to the Preamble that we’ll be using to help us commit it to memory:

**Note- the actual Preamble begins about a minute into the song. The students are not responsible for the additional words in the song apart from the Preamble that is found in their campus binder.
