November 8 - November 12, 2010
Even though this is a short week, we have so many things to cover! We will be adding to our list of foreign words and taking a quiz on Wednesday to check our progress. Here are the words you need to study for the quiz on Wednesday:
foyer
bazaar
rogue
hammock
hors d'oeurve
a la carte
souvenir
buffet
patio
ukulele
chow
rodeo
lasso
corral
bronco
You will need to know the meaning of each word and it's language of origin. Making flashcards and quizzing yourself is a great way to study. Remember, if you make flashcards for these words, SAVE them so you can use them to study for the benchmark exam on December 15th.
We will also be learning how to write friendly letters this week and continuing to use proper punctuation in all our writing, including colons and semicolons.
Homework
Monday: Complete Semicolons & Colons practice, pages 173-174. Study for your foreign words quiz on Wednesday!
Tuesday: Write a rough draft of your friendly letter & have an adult or sibling quiz you on your foreign words for the quiz tomorrow!
Wednesday: Write a final draft of your friendly letter and read it to an adult.
Thursday: Read for at least 20 minutes (10 pages or 1 chapter) from your silent reading book and write a summary (10 words or more) about what you read. Read you summary to an adult and have them initial your Home-School Connections paper.
Friday: Read for at least 20 minutes (10 pages or 1 chapter) from your silent reading book and write a summary (10 words or more) about what you read. Read you summary to an adult and have them initial your Home-School Connections paper.
