Week of April 26

Welcome Grammar 5 students!

Bible:

As we continue with the material concerning Christ’s life, we move on to his crucifixion. We’ll have a quiz on Tuesday over last week’s material. Worksheets are due Monday.

Spelling/Grammar:

This week will be a Wordly Wise week, giving us two homework assignments and a quiz on Friday.

In grammar, we’ll continue to review sentence patterns while reviewing degrees of adjectives. We’ll also start learning how to use quotations, again, assisting us in our tall tales while giving us valuable information in the study of grammar.

Reading/ Writing:

In writing we’ll continue our Tall Tale writing unit. In this project, we’ll attempt to mimic those classic tales we saw in the Grammar 4 play. Our attempt is to capture the spirit of the fantastic while explaining how something came to be.

In addition to this writing assignment, which will be completed mostly at school, students should remember that book reports and scrapbooks are due on May 5.

Lastly, we’ll continue our reading and discussion of The Phantom Tollbooth, our novel study for this quarter.
