Science Presentation:

Wednesday, Mar 6th will be the 3rd quarter science presentation. They can pick any topic in chapters 8-10 that they have enjoyed learning about, what they learned about the topic, what about that topic intrigued them, how does this impact our life, or why they think God chose to design our world that way.  The presentation needs to be at least 3 sentences.  They need to write them down in their science journal on the page labeled science presentation.  They can read their information however they will need to look at their notes and then look up to speak.  The same process as for an oral retell in IEW.  They can also bring an item in that goes with their presentation.

Reading

We are starting "Little Pilgrim's Progress"  this week.  We will read this book through the end of the year. We will be completing a character diary on this book.  Your child will write an entry everyday about how they would feel, think, what they might do if they were on the same journey with Christian.  Each day they read they will need an entry about what happened that day and how they would feel or what they saw, ect.  The entry needs to be at least three complete sentences.  They will be making three entries every week.

Composition:

We will be completing a one paragraph paper about men who changed the world over the next three weeks. The fourth week we will be combining the three papers into a three paragraph report. I will be keeping the written paper once they are graded. I will send home a graded checklist.

Monday - Complete KWO, brainstorming page

Tuesday - Oral retell from your outline, write RD, parents proofread.

Wednesday - Start writing the FD.

Thursday - Finish FD, parents look over FD to make sure everything is labeled and underlined.

All FD are to be written in cursive. If your child is still struggling with cursive.
