Week of October 19 - October 23

This week there are a few things that will help your child:

1)Math Test-Wednesday: If you are unsure as to how to help your child study, please keep in mind that I often hand-check their homework/classwork and circle problems they miss. If you look through your child's math section, you could get them to re-work some of the problems to prepare for the test. Otherwise, there are some Supplemental pages in the back of the book that could help them if there are some they seem confused on. As well, they can always rework problems on the practice test that they always do on Monday before their test on Wednesday.

2)Friday we have several tests:
-Spelling Test: List 8
-Capitalization Test in Grammar (p.202 is their practice test that we will do in class that is inside their Grammar Section. You could also quiz them on the Capitalization Rules (a yellow piece of paper in this secion)
-Geography Test: Southeast Region of the U.S. States and Capitals
The test will have a picture of a map with each state numbered. The need to know what state belongs where on the U.S. and the capital of that state. I gave you a blank map that you can make copies for them to practice. Spelling does count, but not points off the entire problem.

That is all for tests, however, please keep in mind that we will have a Science Test on Unit 2 next week, as well as, a history test on Song 3. I have encouraged the students to study their vocabulary words nightly by picking a few to look at. I can really tell the difference between the students that study at home from those that do not because these sections are challenging and they struggle a lot more in class.

Please pray for those that are out sick this week with the flu! Pray they get better and are able to catch up easily on all their work, as well as, come back to school quickly. Please also pray for a hedge of protection around our class, and Heritage, that God will keep us all healthy!

Thank you! Let me know if I can do anything for you!
