Dear Parents,
Sorry for the late post again! On Monday I left school thinking there was something I had forgotten, and Tuesday morning I finally figured out it was my blog post! I have now set up a notification to remind me to post it on Fridays.
We are reaching the end of the quarter, my how time flies! As we close out these last few weeks make sure to keep encouraging your students. Its likely they are feeling a little stressed right now, but fall break will be a good reprieve from work.
This Week
1) In History we will be having a test this Friday! The test will be on Charlemagne, the Feudal system, women in the Middle Ages, and William the Conqueror. Quizzes 4 and 5 are good resources to use to study for this test. A study guide will be created for your students to study Thursday, so look out for that!
2) In Writing we will be learning about verbs and diving into diagramming sentences. Learning to diagram is an important part of understanding the inner workings of a beautiful sentence, it can also be incredibly fun if approached with the right attitude. Encourage your students to think of it like a puzzle or riddle to be solved.
3) In Reading we will continue to read King Arthur. The story is getting interesting; King Arthur and his knights are about to begin their search for the Holy Grail! Keep reading with your students, you can even direct them to a page number where you remember a detail they need to answer their focus questions, just have them reread and find the detail on their own.
You are all doing an amazing job parenting these kids, keep up the great work!
Best,
Mr. Ohbayashi
