Its President's Day! I kind of forgot about that. So guess what? No school on Monday!! (Except Literature Group, for which you are quite well prepared.)
On with the show!
For History we're moving past the Revolution and into the building of the country. The people are going to be expanding from the Atlantic coast to the west. We'll discuss the Louisiana Purchase, the War of 1812, and how this affected the Native Americans.
Monday: President's Day
Tuesday: Define these words: pioneers, Daniel Boone, Cumberland Gap, Wilderness Trail
Read pages 284-287. Answer questions on p. 287
Wednesday: Define these words: Louisiana Purchase, Napoleon Bonaparte, Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, Sacajawea
Read pages 288-291 and answer the questions on p. 291
Thursday: Define these words: impressment, War Hawks, Constitution, Guerriere, Henry Clay, Francis Scott Key, Andrew Jackson, Fort McHenry
Read p. 292-296 and answer the questions on p. 296
Friday: co-op
For Math we're moving into Chapter 3 which introduces decimals. Decimals are just another way of writing fractions, or numbers that are less than 1.
Monday: Lesson 3.1 Decimals and Place Value-I want to go over this with you, so we're going to do this on Monday. I want to be really sure that you understand it before we mve on to any other lessons. We'll be doing pages 80-83 1-35 odd
Tuesday: Lesson 3.2-Adding and Subtracting with Decimals. The key to adding and subtracting with decimals is lining the decimal points up. Fill in zeros if you need to to make it even out.
Other than that its just regular addition and subtraction.
Here is a video to help explain if you need it.
Do a couple of your skill check problems and see if you are confident in solving the problems. Do p. 84-85, numbers 1-30 even
Wednesday: Lesson 3.3-Rounding Decimals-again we're rounding. With decimals it is only different because you have more places to round to. Look at the chart on p. 85 in your book to help you.
This chart will help you also:
Do p. 87-88, numbers 1-34 even
Thursday: Lesson 3.4 Solving Decimal Equations: Using Addition and Subraction-We have a pattern forming here. New skill (this week is decimals), add/subtract, round, solve equations. You're probably going to see this pattern in every chapter. You already know how to solve an equation, the only difference with decimals is that you have to line up your decimals when you add and subtract-which we've already learned how to do.
Look back at p. 14 and 15 to see examples of solving a simple equation if you need to.
Do p. 89-90, numbers 1-36 even.
For Science we're moving on to the other senses-hearing, touch, taste and smell.
Monday: President's Day
Tuesday: Read the lesson on Hearing and Balance, watch the video and do the Practice questions.
Wednesday: Read the lesson on Touch, watch the video and do the Practice questions.
Thursday: Read the lesson on Taste and Smell , watch the video and do the Practice questions.
Friday: co-op
For Reading we're going to start on a new book called Sarah Bishop which is set during the Revolutionary War.
Monday: TKAM Literature group
Tuesday-Thursday: Read Ch 1-3 of Sarah Bishop
For Spelling we're doing Contract B for these words from Sarah Bishop:
muslin mahogany gaunt mincemeat Tory
vermin flax asylum militia firelock
scythe drayman fetlock cuff (verb) gaunt
For Writing, we are going to get back to your research paper soon, but for this week lets continue with our Daily10s. I enjoyed last weeks! :D
Monday: President's Day
Tuesday: The Power of One
How can the smallest among us make a huge difference in todays world?
Wednesday:Your Majesty
Given a kingdom full of loyal subjects, describe your palace and rule
Thursday: Be Prepared
Share an experience that supports the wisdom of this Girl Scout motto.
That's it baby-cakes!! I hope you enjoyed your President's Day off! You make me so proud, and when the day seems hard, just remember:
