The Groove, and Getting Into It

A few things today really quick: The kids got their spelling lists today for the week. Tomorrow their definitions need to be written down with the parts of speech. These kids are pretty good at knowing the parts of speech if they know the definition, and I told them that if they know what it means, it's okay to just write that down. No need to use the dictionary if you're sure of what it means. We did talk about how sometimes you think you know what the definition is, but if you're not sure, always err on the side of looking it up.

Weekly assignments for spelling (each full week, unless told otherwise):
Monday: Receive the list.
Tuesday: Definitions are due.
Wednesday: 3x each ABC order is due.
Thursday: Meaning exercise is due.
Friday: Spelling Test.

Also, the kids' maps (coloring the regions, etc...they have directions) are due on Wednesday. Oh, and their Western States and Capitals quiz is NEXT Tuesday, August 25.

Whew! Today was like a whirlwind. Luckily for the kids, we didn't get to everything today that I wanted to get done!
