January 15

Today we  practiced using patterns to find or determine multiples of 2, 5, and 9.  The trick with checking large numbers to determine if its a multiple of 9 is to get the sum of the digits.  If the sum is 9, 18, 27, etc its a multiple of 9.  

The story this week is How Do You Raise a Raisin?, a fun look at how raisins are produced. (No kidding, it really is pretty cute!)  The grammar skill for the week is identifying action and linking verbs. I learned them as verbs of being, but they are also called linking verbs because they link the subject to the predicate.  

Tonight's homework is: reread the group book and answer questions 1 and 3 at the back of the book
                                    complete another page in the Spelling Packet

I hear there's some bad weather heading our way so we'll see what the morning brings!  A little extra pajama time?
