Welcome back, families! We’ve started our shortened week strong with hard work on Spelling, Language/Grammar lessons, and Math Work. This includes activities such as spelling words using Scrabble pieces, organizing the words according to syllable counts, and writing a letter with the words. For Language, we’re working on appositives, review of sentence analysis (identifying parts of speech like adverbs and indirect objects), and relationship between clauses and phrases. For Math, we started with Fractions: addition, subtraction, division, and equivalencies on a number line. We’re starting with a strong focus on the bases to support our further abstract thinking work.
