HISTORY:
--go over the "web" we made in class on the Black Death with a parent. Read and explain each of the "clouds" and see if you teach them something! Be ready to tell me what your taught them.
--map
--color
--read ch. 26
--note: no narration. Perhaps you can trim up the web, fold it, punch holes and put it in your notebooks in place of a narration for this chapter. This isn't required for me but I know some want a complete notebook by the end of the year.

GRAMMAR:
--review ch. 13 and administer test
--complete ch. 14 from text
--complete ch. 14 vocab (definitions and sentences) to turn in

LITERATURE:
--complete Arthur review questions
--read through 41 in Robin Hood

SCIENCE:
--read through top of pg. 126 in lesson 8
--produce a narration on what you learned
--enter exoskeleton, chitin, mandibles, maxillae, maxillipeds, and chelipeds in your science spiral NOTE: beginning THIS WEEK WITH THESE WORDS everyone needs a science spiral--no loose papers please. Label this weeks entry of words and definitions with the date and Lesson 8. If you've been doing this, great. If you've been using loose paper and turning it in to me please buy a spiral (I think they're $0.25 at Big Lots) and begin entering each weeks vocab in it. The narrations need to be done on loose paper so they can be turned in. I'll only call for a spiral check once a month or so.
