Language Arts
This week we started with a test over Unit 1 - The Sentence. Many of the students understood the individual lessons; however, the test seemed to be more difficult for them seeing it was a review of the whole unit, despite multiple review sessions and study guides given. Tests were handed back Tuesday. Hopefully, they will learn to study more for the next Unit test.
On Tuesday we began Unit 2 - Nouns. We watched a School House Rock video and the students seemed to catch on quickly. Friday we will culminate the first five lessons with a quiz. The types of nouns covered are common, proper, singular, and plural nouns.
Math
We are now on to Chapter 2 - Adding and Subtracting Whole Numbers and Decimals. We are showing the relationship of addition and subtraction. Rounding and estimation are additional lessons covered this week. There should be a quiz over lessons 1-7 (not 6) on Friday.
