In L.A. we have started our new novel, Petey, and so far it seems to be grabbing all of us (I haven't read this one before either). We are also taking a break from Write Traits and trying to improve on some basic skills before going back to it. Communication Skills (our grammar/writing program) we will be continuing. In Math, I am working with group 2 and we have just wrapped up order of operations and will be moving into integers and then some basic algebra. We have had a small quiz on order of operations and will have a larger test on all three concepts when we have finished. In Science, we have moved on to Forces and Simple Machines (a grade 5 unit). In HACE we have begun a unit on Careers. This will eventually culminate in a presentation (more on that later).
Just a heads up that our gym is being painted. While we will try to go outside if possible, it will be temperature/condition dependent. There will be no gym time on Monday......
I have booked Sun Peaks for a day of tubing. The permission slips will be coming home this week because we have gymnastics days booked shortly after and I wanted to space out the money that is required.
Let's take a look at this week:
Monday, Jan. 14 - No gym today
Tuesday, Jan. 15 -
Wednesday, Jan. 16 -
Thursday, Jan. 17 - Library sign out, Gym if possible
Friday, Jan. 18 - Crazy hair/pajama school spirit day - Ms. Lane away in the afternoon
