Chang’s Future Leaders: Newsletter Feb. 2-6

What we are learning… 

Bible Verse 1 Samuel 12:20 (NIV): “Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.”

History Study guides for the chapters, “Countries of Central and Southern Asia” and Science ’s “Heat and Energy,” have been given.  Keep reviewing for the tests on Thursday and Friday, respectively.  Health Keep reviewing “Quiz” pages 35-36.  The quiz has been pushed to next Friday.

Reading/Writing Graphic organizers are helpful tools to visually organize information, and we have been using them (i.e. T-Chart, Venn diagram) and will continue to use them (i.e. timeline, pie, and graph) for the class novel to unearth pertinent details. Also, the monthly reading calendar is due tomorrow.

Language Arts Complete the spelling handouts for Spelling and Wordly Wise.  Prepare for the tests this Wednesday.  We have been learning how to use punctuation (end marks and commas) correctly, using Write Source.

Math The slowing down to re-explore math concepts have been quite fruitful and will help with the re-take Math Test (12).

Fieldtrip:  Thank you for your prayers, and for all the adults who joined us to make this field trip memorable and safe!  We were awed by glass art, created by high-risk middle school students; expressed our feelings through making art in the craft room; watched the glass blowers make a doggy dish at the Hot Shop; learned how heat and metal tools are used to blow glass; then, ended with some (eye) shopping in their glittering, gleaming, glass-filled gift shop. 

To end, we met Chuck-E-Cheese, ate pizza, played games, won prizes, and cooled down with ice-cream.  Good times learning while having fun!

Fennell Fundraiser: Each class will be collecting money to help.  Donators will be given a “We love Mrs. Fennell” body decal (face, arm, hand).
