1. For Communication Arts, the blog page labeled Classroom Activities at the top will have the same information that is in the planner each day.
2. In this part of the blog, I will have more details of the activities that we do in class if I feel there may need to be more clarification.

This week we are doing the grammar pages (proper nouns) in class on Monday.  Tuesday will be planned around idioms, and Wednesday we will concentrate on compound words.  If you can help reinforce these during the week, that would be wonderful. One easy way you can help is to point some out, during normal conversation, to your child. They would be surprised how much we use them. All of these are in the packet (study guide) to help you in case you do  not remember these.

We listened to segments of an interview from the author of the book Shiloh last week and students learned about the writing process she uses.  some of the books she wrote are in our library, and I introduced some to the students.  These include selections for both boys and girls.  These  books would be great for your child to check out.
