Math:
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:
Students will now be completing a rough draft and final every week. They may use the 3 vocabulary words from the current lesson. Each vocabulary word from the current lesson 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.  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 48.  Begin practicing the "Periodic Table" poem.
Reading:
 We are continuing to read "Squanto, Friend of the Pilgrims" this week.  
Memory:
Please spend time during your school day to work on our school wide scripture, quarter 1 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.
