ast week, we completed our study of “Minerals and Rocks” in Science
and will begin reviewing for the chapter test. We began the second chapter of History on the “Fertile Crescent:
Cradle of Civilization.” Math lessons were on equal group
stories and dividing and writing a remainder.
English has been full of
writing our final chapter of Esperanza
Rising and applying literary devices (idioms, exaggeration, metaphors,
similes, and personification), MUG (Mechanics, Usage, and Grammar), Spelling
and Vocabulary. Teacher development was
a powerful time to learn how to be more effective in teaching this generation
for Christ.
This
week: Fall Goal Planning Conferences begin Tuesday, October 20th and end on Thursday. Scholastic
books sales is coming up next week; please donate from the library or entirely
online—http://onlinebookfairs.scholastic.com/wishlisthome.aspx—a book for our very own class library!!! Our unique class activation code is PHGGR. For
the Carnival
next Friday night, we still need supervisors
for our two bounce houses of 30-minute time slots from set up (5:30 pm) to
clean up (8:30 pm). The sign-up sheet is posted next to the class door.
Operation Christmas
Child Kick-off is next week. Come and watch our skits, explaining the why
and how. If you are interested in decorating the glass display in the hallway
with two examples of a boy and a girl box, please email me. These examples will be a great way to
encourage others to get in the spirit of sharing the gift of the Goodnews of
Jesus to the lost.
Field Trip to Mount Saint Helen’s is on October 30th. We have all our chaperones. However, if you would still like to attend,
you are welcome but will need to get your background checked and pay the
admission fee of $8. We will go on a 2 ½
mile hike, so bring some comfortable running shoes
and water. This will be an educational field trip, requiring work to be done on
our trip; thus, bring a clip board and a pencil.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!!!
Have a blessed week, Ms. Chang
