Chang’s Future Leaders: Newsletter Feb. 16-20

Chang’s Future Leaders: Newsletter Feb. 16-20
What a wonderful time we had with our grandparents!  We got to mingle with our little icebreaker with questions like what is our favorite ice-cream flavor or who is our favorite super hero; see if we really are smarter than a fifth grader; share and eat sweet Valentine's Day treats; and be catered by the PTA with snacks and love.  Community Christian Academy is truly a comm-unity that is Christ-like by example while excelling in academics. 

What we are learning…

Bible Verse  We will be memorizing two to three verses at-a-time each week of Romans 12.  You may go to my blog (below) for the breakdown and verses.   The words have been highlighted and bolded to group the verses that you need to memorize. Also, we are embarking on a new unit (10.1-10.4), “God Uses Judges.”  The Bible lesson tests for a unit will be a day after each _.4 lesson.

Romans 12:1-2.

History We are continuing on with the chapters on “Countries of the Far East” and, in Science ,  “Weather.”  Health For this Friday, be prepared for the quiz on “Quiz” workbook pages 35-36.

Math Test 14 is on Thursday. As stated last newsletter, remember to use your Math textbook as a “manual” by going through the beginning explanation. Also, we do look at all the homework problems and not only the assigned ones since homework alternates between odds (MWF) and evens (TR): Problems not assigned may not be seen until a test or two later. 

Reading Keep log of the monthly reading calendars.  Also, the novel, Bud, Not Buddy is getting interesting through the uncertainties he faces.  Language Arts Complete the spelling handouts for Spelling and Wordly Wise.  Prepare for the tests next Wednesday.  By using Write Source, we will continue to focus on conventions of grammar, usage, and mechanics (G.U.M.) that seem difficult as evidenced in our writing.  

 Writing We will begin our poetry projects this week.  Please see my blog for more details!  We have the opportunity to make a book for $20; the authors and illustrators are our very own children.  If interested, payment will be due Friday.  Our book will be a collection of poetry from “My Poetry Book” project.
