Oh, My Goodness! I am amazed by all you have learned in just two days! And it's because you are attentive and focused. Thank you for such a great beginning to our school year!
In Literature, we have read two stories, The Mapmaker's Daughter and "The Two Brothers" by Leo Tolstoy--one of the greatest writers in all of history! You have analyzed the plots of both stories, and are in the process of completing a character analysis of Suchen from The Mapmaker's Daughter. You all finished your reading assignment and responses during class today, so you have NO HOMEWORK! Great! Next week, we'll begin to write summaries using all the facts about the stories that you have observed.
We will have a short quiz over "The Two Brothers" on Monday, so why don't you try re-telling that story to your parents or a brother or sister. It will help you remember those details.
In Bible, we've learned the word testamentum and its meaning to the Bible. We're about to begin our lesson cards which are based on the Gospels of the New Testament.
In History, we have learned that all cultures from all times have been involved in basically 9 activities--SMERFCAPS. Can you remember any that we have discussed?
I hope you have a fun and restful weekend!
Mrs. Horner
