What is happening in the classroom:


Bible Memory verse (below) test and Bible lessons due Friday.

Math Counting sequences, identifying even and odd numbers, and comparing whole numbers were worked on last week.  This week, addition algorithm, subtraction facts, and missing numbers in addition will be the focus.

History This past week we focused on the creation account and how it differs from the worldview of the theory of evolution. We will continue to learn more about Old History, focusing on Asia’s Fertile Crescent.

Science The students will continue to study about minerals and rocks.
Health Life in the blood was studied.  This week, the heart will be examined.

Reading We have been reading the novel Brother Andrew: God's Secret Agent.  We will continue reading this gripping account of this missionary.

Spelling and Vocabulary Spelling and Vocabulary (Worldly Wise) activities and tests are Wednesday’s.  A new spelling list will be given each week; whereas, a new vocabulary list will be given every other Wednesday.

A Special Note:

Volunteers: Help wanted in the classroom, please contact me at mchang@foundationcampus.org.
Computer time:  Khanacademy.org is a resourceful and accessible tutorial program.  Setting up an account requires an email.  Using a parent email rather than the student’s is possible, if preferred.

Welcome

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the 5th grade.  The first few days of school were amazing. I am excited to teach this class of wonderful students.  This school year will be focused on shaping their bright minds and pure hearts on becoming wise and bold leaders for Christ, for they are the future leaders of hope in this world!  

I will be posting upcoming events, homework and projects, and other pertinent and important information on this blog.  Please look out for the Monday folders to review, sign, and return to school the following day.  

If you would like to communicate a question or concern, please email me at mchang@foundationcampus.org.

Sincerely,
Ms. Chang
