In math we worked on figuring out word problems with large numbers by making them simpler. Any time you work with word problems, there are moans and groans. We tried to show some ways to simplify the problems to avoid that. If your child didn’t finish, he/she has four problems on Skills page 61 to do.
In spelling each group had their individual lessons. Tomorrow we will play Sparkle.
In language we worked with predicate adjectives. We know that adjectives modify a noun or pronoun. We are used to picking them out in sentences like, “The green turtle walked slowly.” Today we found them after a linking verb such as, “The volcano became violent over time.” That is the difference between an adjective and a predicate adjective.

We are having issues with children talking about others. My rule is, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything.” Our feelings get hurt very easily at this age, and most of the time I don’t think people want to hurt others, but they do it in anger or to impress someone or to be part of the crowd. Please talk this over with your child. We have so much to do in sixth grade that there isn’t enough time for dramaJ
Happy Wednesday!
