Tuesday

Language Arts: We started our Greek Mythology lessons today!  We spent some time watching a short video that explained some common Nature Myths, and then shared a packet about what exactly a Myth is and where they come from.  The students really seemed to enjoy learning about this new topic!

HW: There is NO weekly homework this week due to no basal story.  There is also no spelling list.  Please watch for a longer-term homework assignment to come home tomorrow that has to do with our Mythology unit.  Book orders are due next Tuesday!

Math: We combined three lessons today, so we were super busy.  As discussed in class, the students really need to have their math facts secure by now...if they are not, it's time to work on them!  :)  Lessons 3.2-3.4 are all having to do with multiplication fact review, so we are having some work sessions in class today and tomorrow to hit these skills again.

HW: Nothing is due tomorrow...all pages are due Thursday. 

Social Studies: We jumped into chapter 3 today, starting to learn about the first settlers to the Americas.

HW: None
