For Math, we're finishing up chapter 1 in your pre-algebra book. You seem to be understanding it pretty well, so hopefully it will continue that way. Honestly, I hated math until 8th grade when I got into pre-algebra, then it just all started clicking with me. Maybe you'll be the same way!
Monday: Lesson 1.5-Translating Word Phrases: Read pages 18 and 19. If you need help understanding it, message me and we'll talk about it. Do p. 20-21, number 1-35 odd.
Tuesday: Lesson 1.6 Problem Solving: The Four Point Checklist. These are all word problems, when you have really liked in the past. Read p. 22 and then try the skill check problems. How are you feeling about them? Let me know on KIK. Do numbers 1-10 on p. 23-24.
Wednesday: Lesson 1.7 Estimating Sums and Differences: Read p. 25-26
If you need more explanation, watch this video:
Just like the teacher in this next video says, he's not a fan of front-end rounding-but you should know what it is. He explains it here:
Do the problems on p. 27-28, numbers 1-30 even.
Thursday: On Friday we're going to have a test over Ch. 1. Go back through the lessons in Ch. 1 and find anything you may have questions about. Write down the questions and the lesson they come from so that we can go over them. A good idea might be to try a couple of the problems in the skill check of each lesson. Do you know what you're doing? If not, read over the lesson and see if you can figure it out. If you can't, lets talk about it.
Friday: Chapter 1 Review, p. 31-32. Do all the problems.
You finished Chapter 1!!
For Reading, we're going to start a novel called To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Its about racism, class-ism, and how we treat those that are different than us. Its set in a small town in Alabama during the Great Depression. Harper Lee, the author, is still alive and lives in Alabama-but she's very reclusive and doesn't want to be around people. The character Scout is based on her, and the character Dill is based on another famous author named Truman Capote. They lived next door to each other when they were children. We have to have this read by February 15, so that means that you need to read a chapter a day-but there are some days you need to read more than one chapter. This week just read one chapter each day, unless you feel like reading more.
For Spelling we're going to be doing Contract B.
Your words are all from To Kill A Mockingbird:
malevolent inquisitive erratic monosyllabic edification
indigenous auspicious predilection iniquity benevolence
melancholy repertoire beadle dispensation vapid
For Writing finish what you did not do last week.
That's all chica! I'm also going to give you a check list so that you can make sure every assignment gets done by FRIDAY. Assignments not finished by Friday will be considered late and you will get a lower grade.
I have every confidence that you can get this done. You are an amazing kid! I love you so much, and remember:
