In language arts, students will be taking a mastery test on the eight parts of speech. We'll build on our understanding of the eight parts of speech to review sentence structure and simple versus compound sentences. Our Springboard books have arrived as well, so we'll be "springing" into that work as well. Here's a link to a website with information about the Springboard curriculum.
In history, we'll be continuing to study the 13 original colonies, finishing the colonial brochure before comparing and contrasting life in the various colonies. Students will review the names and locations of the 13 original colonies, and during the week of October 5th, we'll have a map quiz. Here's a link to a website that allows students to practice the locations of the 13 colonies. We'll discuss the Trial of Anne Hutchinson, and students will have an opportunity to participate in our first mock trial.
Also, a reminder: school won't be in session on Thursday, October 1st and Friday, October 2nd because of teacher inservice.
