Math:
Please continue to review all math facts. Addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

If your child is struggling with addition math facts, please spend extra time practicing them.  We will have a timed math facts test for a test grade on 10/3.

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:
We are on week third of Damocles and the King.  This week we are working on the climax and resolution..  There will be a KWO, rough draft and final draft for this section.  The final for week two will be turned in on Wednesday and will be graded.  Please keep the finals all in the campus binder after they have been graded.  I do not want a student to have to rewrite a section because they cannot find their paper.
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.  Starting Oct 10 all final draft will have to be in cursive.

Science:
The answers to the quiz can be found in the teacher's guide pg 64.  Continue to practice the "Periodic Table" poem.
Reading:
 We will be reading "A Cricket in Time Square" this week.
  
Memory:
Please spend time during your school day to work on our school wide scripture, quarter 2 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.
