ickets are a hot item. The
students are earning them through reading, getting a perfect score on tests,
fact-finding, answering questions correctly, exemplary behavior, team prizes to
comprehension games, and more to buy various prizes—one, a lunch from me.
Adopt-a Family spots are being
taken. Please help bring in an item (see
back for list) to fully cover the family’s wish list by the 17th. We have “elves” who can help wrap them. Please be in prayer for them as the father is
seriously ill. If you would like to
deliver the gifts to the family, please let me know as soon as possible. There is no obligation: “Each one must give
as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God
loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:6-7). We want to give out of our joy
and not out of legalism. We learned first-hand
that it is truly better to give than receive as the students, with faces beaming,
stuffed Mrs. Graham’s van with Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes after the
“Blessing of the Boxes” assembly.
Reading Great job! We are a class of
readers! This month many read daily and
won a coupon from Pizza Hut. Also, many
read each weekday to fulfill the independent reading requirement. We finished our two novels and had a wonderful time celebrating with the movie of one.
Math lessons will be on adding and subtracting fractions with common
denominators; short division; using fraction manipulatives, part 2; dividing
remainders, part 2; and adding and subtracting whole numbers, fractions, and
mixed numbers.
Language Arts Last week, we created “Color,” “Concrete,” and “Creature
Alliteration” poems. This week will be
creating “Five Senses,” “Haiku,” and “Who-What-When-Where-Why” poems. Mechanics,
Usage, and Grammar (M.U.G.) Using italics (underlining) for titles of
books, newspapers, magazines, and movies or for adding emphasis and using
quotation marks for punctuating titles of parts of work will be practiced. Spelling
We are learning about the unstressed schwa words in lesson 11. Also in Vocabulary, we continue the study of the
meaning of words in lesson 6 sections D and E.
Science We unearthed knowledge about dinosaurs. Our next FIELD TRIP is to view the National
Geographic Live! presentation of Spinosaurus:
Lost Giant of the Cretaceous with Nizar Ibrahim on Monday, January 25th,
2016. Bring a sack lunch, and do not
order a hot lunch for this day. Also,
there is limited seating, so six chaperones may join us. If you are interested in attending, please
email or send me a note with your child, and I will reserve your spot. In History,
we will learn about the Assyrian, Babylonian and Persian empires.
PROGRESS REPORTS are being sent home today.
Please return only the envelope, signed.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!!!
Have a blessed week, Mrs. Chang
