What's coming up next week?
Literature/Poetry
This week in Grammar we learned about predicate nominatives, which are joined to the subject with a linking verb.. Next week students will learn about predicate adjectives.
This week we worked through the writing process and developed a three paragraph summary. Next week students will study note-taking and proper format for documentation.
We finished "Decimal System" this week with a test.
Then, we started "Number Theory". We learned about factors and did
some divisibility test. Next week, we will learn about prime numbers, composite
numbers, prime factors, etc. We will end the unit by learning about GCF
(Greatest Common Factor), and LCM (Lowest Common Multiple).
This week in History we learned about the causes and effects of the Persian Wars and had our first group presentations about The Golden Age of Athens, discovering all the rich ancient Greek achievements that impact us still today.
Next week in History we will continue our journey through
ancient Greece. We are traveling back to the days of glory and honor with
the original Olympics and discovering how different it was from today’s games.
We will also discuss the causes of the Peloponnesian Wars and their influence on
the ultimate downfall of Greece. Scholars will end the week off focusing on the
famous ancient Greek philosophers and their contribution to human existence.
Science
We have concluded our study on Moss and Ferns. Scholars will be bringing their Science Test home today. Please have them complete corrections, obtain a parent signature, and return on Monday. Next week, we will begin our unit on gymnosperms and explore pinecones and the rings of trees!
