Please continue to practice bar modeling at home. Here are the links to the bar modeling https://fortisacademy.wordpress.com/curriculum/math/   

Grammar:
Reminding your student of the Shurley jingle that matches the definition may help. 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:
Students will now be completing a rough draft every week. They may use up to 3 vocabulary words from lesson 4. Each vocabulary word from lesson 4 is worth 1 extra credit point.
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.
