What's new in English/Language Arts?
Also, we had our first spelling test, which turned out to be very easy for the students. We'll focus on more challenging spelling words by working with the spellingcity.com website; I'll post my specific web page on that site on Monday, so the students can practice the spelling words through games, such as hangman.
We also will have writing journals that the students will practice the Writer's Workshop methods of creating content. Please note that the first two steps do not involve correcting spelling. We had some challenges getting the students to write down their ideas without getting hung up on spelling.
What's new in Math?
We also do Math Races and challenges to gauge understanding through applying concepts learned in a challenging environment where there isn't a grade involved, yet.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions and concerns about the curriculum. Also, we will be starting tutoring this week on Tuesdays. If I spot students who can benefit from tutoring, I will e-mail the parent directly to request the student attend tutoring. Tutoring isn't limited to math but can include all content areas.
What's new in Social Studies?
What else are we doing?
Robotics Club has arrived!
