Mrs. Chang’s 5th Grade: Newsletter Jan. 5-9

Mrs. Chang’s 5th Grade: Newsletter Jan. 5-9

Christmas Cheer Scrumptious treats, sharing Christ’s love tangibly through wrapped gifts for our adopted family, and popcorn and a movie, Joseph: King of Dreams, were simply delightful and most deserved for all our diligent workers!
What we are learning…
Reading logs are due tomorrow.  Also, The Tales of Despereaux will continued to be reviewed for comprehension and the use of literary elements and techniques.  Geography/Writing Project The essays (rough drafts) are to be edited for additions or changes in order to address the eleven questions (in the handout) about the country and people.  Finally, these creative and colorful flags, political and physical maps, and essays will be presented next Tuesday (13th).  The essays must be neatly typed or printed and mindful of grammar.  Science The next chapter is on “Heat and Energy,” which also nicely coincides with our upcoming field trip to Museum of Glass.  Health On Friday, there will be a quiz on the anatomy of teeth and the digestive system.  Language Arts Grammar is essential for writing enthralling stories or sharing of convincing facts.  Write Source helps to hone works of literary art that can be read without hiccups.  To name only a few interruptions studied, they are run-ons, rambling sentences, fragments, verbs that don’t agree with their subjects, and pronouns with their antecedents.

Bible Memory Verse Isaiah 41:10 (ESV):  Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
