What we're working on this week
This week I'll be handing out banner attributes to each student to create a Bible banner that will hang in the hallway. They will have until December 19th to create the banner. Details will be included in the packet that will come home.
Bible- Lesson 9- God Gives The LawVerse - Matthew 6: 23-24
But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Reading
We'll continue reading Ghost Cadet and Elijah of Buxton in our reading groups. PLEASE remind your students to study the words for the reading vocabulary grades. I'd recommend using studystack.com to create online flash cards. Each homeroom class is divided into 4 reading groups, so with 12 total groups, they're all in different places in the books. I'm really proud at what a great job they've been doing at working together to read and work through vocabulary, make predictions, and answer comprehension questions. They seem to enjoy the books so far.
Language
This week we'll be covering Language pages 48-51 on locating unusual subjects and diagramming sentences. PLEASE DO NOT have your students work on these Languages pages ahead of time at home. I really want them to have the in class instruction before doing the pages. Also, it keeps us all in the same place.
Writing
We will finish our dialog comic strips at the beginning of the week. After that, we'll begin to study persuasive writing.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
Thanks! Mandy Garola
