ible Christmas is fast approaching! We know that the busy-ness of the holidays can
keep our thoughts wrapped up in the presents and traditions, lending to the frenzy;
however, we have and will not lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas—the birth
and coming of our Savior, Christ Jesus!
Please enjoy our “12 Days of Christmas” rendition from our very own
class (see end), reviewing what we have learned in Bible, thus, far.
Adopt-a Family spots are being
taken. WOW! I would like to thank all of those who have
donated items. We will be wrapping them up on the 17th for delivery
on the 18th. The remaining
items listed are the following: 15-year-old Girl—shoes (10) and bike; 10-year-old
Girl—shoes (7) and bike; anything would be grateful for mom; and anything warm
for dad.
Reading For further study of The Tale
of Desperaux, we created a Venn diagram for the similarities and
differences of two similar characters from the novel. Also, we are plotting the events of a
chronological timeline for three main characters: Despereaux, Roscuro, and
Miggery Sow.
Math lessons will be on reading lengths on a metric scale, reading an
inch ruler to the nearest fourth of an inch, and illustrating fraction stories.
Language Arts Last week, we created the “Five Senses,” “Haiku,” and
“Who-What-When-Where-Why” poems. This week will be writing out a poem from the
Bible and starting to write our final drafts, one-to-two-poems-at-a-time. Mechanics, Usage, and Grammar (M.U.G.)
We will use dashes and parentheses in sentences. Spelling
This week we will be reviewing lessons 7-11, so there is no cursive. In Vocabulary,
we are playing catch up and will take the chapter 6 test. Also, we will
slowly transition to having spelling and vocabulary worksheets due on Tuesdays
and the tests on Wednesdays.
Science With the help of the Wade family, we made casts both edible (melted
chocolate and marshmallows) and non-edible (plaster of Paris) from Christmas molds. We completed our chapter review and will
continue to complete our study guides for the chapter test on “Fossils and Dinosaurs.” Our next FIELD TRIP on Monday, January 25th,
2016 is to view the National Geographic Live! presentation of Spinosaurus: Lost Giant of the Cretaceous
with Nizar Ibrahim. Bring a sack lunch,
and do not order a hot lunch for this day.
Also, there is limited seating, five more chaperones may join us.
In History, we have
completed our reading and getting ready for the test of the third chapter by
finishing up our study guides. The
Passport test is on Thursday.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!!!
Have a blessed week, Mrs. Chang
