This week we will emphasize comparing the past and the present (tested) and review comparing the effects of geography on lifestyles (tested) in order to be able to pass a test on Friday in Science and Social Science if all goes as expected. Students should be bringing home their notes from class today in order to study (discuss) with you for their test. They should be able to name several differences in lifestyle between people that live in a warm climate from those that live in the cold. They should also be able to mention some differences between living in the past and the present. We discussed differences in shopping (in the past- fewer stores with a wider variety of items and services), transportation (in the past- slower animal-powered vehicles on dirt roads), school (in the past- one-room school buildings for all ages without computers), and clothing (in the past- long-sleeved dresses and shirts with high collars and bows or ties, stockings or high socks and boots).
We will be spelling with 's' and 'r' consonant blends this week (step, spend, grab, trap).
Six students have completed seminar for their worker report. Those completing so far have done a very good job. They have not only demonstrated their skill in writing composition but their diligence and independence to work to completion.
Reading logs are due on Wednesday.
