Week of Feb. 6th - 10th

Dear Parents,

We have reached the midpoint of this nine weeks.  Hard to believe, isn't it?  The children have mastered the process of two digit times four digit multiplication.  Any mistakes seem to be in addition and multiplication facts.  We have also been gaining a better understanding of matter and its properties.  Ask your child to tell you about our experiments, and why one egg floated and the other didn't.


Here's a look at the week ahead.

Bible - Lesson 18, Exodus 12:35-15:21, "The Israelites Leave Egypt"
Spelling - Unit 23, Test on Thursday
Language - Begin Unit 5, Pages 166-171, "Capitalization and Punctuation"
Reading - When the Circus Came to Town, skills: prefixes and suffixes- identifying and learning their meanings
Math - Chapter 12 Test on Wednesday, then begin division
Science - Unit E, Chapter 11, Lesson 2, pages 468-473, "How Does Matter Change States?"
Alabama History - Chapter 6,  pages 119-123, "Creek Indian War"
