Hopefully everyone had a great weekend. The kids have worked pretty hard today. It seems like the more we accomplish, the more behind we get--just like with anything, I suppose.
This week we do have a couple things you should probably know about. Tomorrow, we will take a quiz on adjectives. You may want to quiz your kids tonight on what these are. We have been talking about them in class, and every day we do word of the day, where parts of speech come up. This is one of those things that all fifth graders need to know.
On Friday, we will take a reading comprehension test and a Caesar's English quiz. See the sidebar for the Caesar's English roots this week.
Very soon, the kids will be starting their research projects. I will let you know at home if there is anything the kids need to be doing--going to the library, bringing in resources, etc. It should be pretty cool. I just gave the kids an interest survey, and will work with them on coming up with a topic individually.
Lastly, the kids have pages 40-41 in their white pages tonight (they should have brought home their red hardback books as well), ONLY Rhode Island and New York.
