5th Grade Newsletter: November 2, 2015

L

ast week, for Bible, our class did a splendid job sharing their talents and passion for God on stage.  One hundred percent participation from students and teachers will enable us to reach our 200 packed boxes goal!  Thank you to all parents who came and who supported our crew!  They truly gave it their all and for the glory of God.  Each group shared a part to fully support the why we do Operation Christmas Child, which can be found in James 1:27:

“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”

For Science, we visited our very own, historically acclaimed Mount Saint Helen’s.  We had a great time identifying rocks and their characteristics, learning about the rejuvenation of life from the catastrophic eruption, and seeing God’s omniscient and omnipotence of how He can bring back life and beauty from utter catastrophe an devastation.  Thank you to all the parents who joined us on the trip, making it a more memorable and safe one!

In History, we are continuing to learn about the creative, industrious, and ingenious Sumerians with the invention of the wheel and writing. 

Math lessons were on “Practicing the division Algorithm,” Solving Problems about Divisions of Time,” “Reading and Drawing Number Lines, Part 2,” and “Reading and Writing Time from a Clock,”

For Language Arts and Reading, we are fine-tuning our skills each day to complete our rough drafts for the final chapter of Esperanza Rising, MUG (Mechanics, Usage, and Grammar) on apostrophes, Spelling, and Vocabulary. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!!!

Have a blessed week, Ms. Chang

Ephesians 4:31-32

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
