So this is going to be kind of a weird school week. First of all, Grandma and Grandpa are showing up and we'll want to spend more time with them and less time doing school. But we still have to do school. Second of all, we want to try doing four days of school instead of five. Third of all, there are two days when we have too much moving around to do school. That means we're going to do day 4 on Saturday instead of Friday. Such is life on the road.
Your goal in math this week is to continue clearing the backlog of familiar math in Dimensions. You did Chapter 1 last week and Chapter 2 over the weekend. Therefore, your goal this week is to clear out Chapter 3. Fortunately, there are four sections in this chapter so you'll do one each day!
Your goal in English is to write a paragraph on a different part of our civil rights tour each day. As I write this, you already did your first entry, on the Legacy Museum in Montgomery. Your focus topics for each of the remaining three days are: other aspects of Montgomery, Birmingham and Memphis.
Separately, you are the new handwriting book for practicing your cursive. You did pages 3 and 4 today, you'll do page 5 on Wednesday, pages 6-7 on Thursday and then page 8 on Saturday. In addition, I expect you to read a chapter of Just Mercy on Tuesday (although there is no school) and the same on Friday (when there is also no school).
It is my plan to buy a few of your OBOB books and add them to your Kindle so that you have something enjoyable to read for leisure/pleasure.
For your vocabulary list: please continue what you've been doing. I'd like to include you in figuring out a good way to add words to your blog so that we can track them there. I created an account for you with an online dictionary. That site also lets you accumulate words there. But there's significant value in the task of copying the definition from the dictionary to your notebook (or blog), especially if you put the definition into your own words. In the search for an online dictionary, I saw a lot of options. This seems to be a good fit for a sixth grader. There are easier/simpler dictionaries you could use and there are many that are more complication, sometimes very much so.
Have a great week!
