Week in Review

Here is what was accomplished this week:

SL:
We read the first 3 chapters of "Hunger Games." Kids are writing up chapter summaries in their notebook, starting on page 60. They need one for each chapter. On Monday I'll be checking to see that they have all three done.

They are also practicing their vocab words. On Friday we played a review game of pictionary to practice the Greek and Latin root words.


HL:
We read the first 4 chapters of "The Hound of the Baskervilles." Kids worked on chapter summaries for each chapter. Additionally, we began looking at televised portrayals of Sherlock Holmes and read a recent article on his character.

Vocab was due Friday (today), and most kids got it in on time. They will get another lesson on Monday, which will be due next Thursday. We played a review game today on the Greek and Latin roots.


ALL:

Notebooks should be all set up by now. This includes: having a composition notebook, numbering all the pages as directed (begin by calling the front side of the second piece of paper #1), setting up "Pause and Think" in the back, and having a table of contents. Also, vocab lesson 1 should be written down on pages 2 and 3. See earlier blog post for more details on that.
