What We're Working on this week
Bible:
Lesson 1- Moses' Final Charge
Verse- Matthew 6: 29-30
- Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
Reading
We will continue on with our books. All Ghost Cadet and some Elijah of Buxton groups will have a vocab quiz on Wednesday. Many groups are working on their final projects this week using imovie and the ipad. Hopefully we'll have a link to our shows to send home soon. Once all projects are finished, we'll schedule a final comprehension test on Ghost Cadet. In addition, the students will receive a test grade on the Reading Counts test.
Language
We'll continue on in Unit 4 with pronouns this week. This week we'll be covering pages 70-74. We'll work diligently to finish Unit 4 prior to Christmas break.
Writing
We'll take a brief break from poetry at the beginning of the week to complete a Christmas writing assignment to hang in the hallway. Once those are completed we'll return to poetry to cover concrete poems this week.
As always, thank you for your continued support. We really do have an awesome group of fifth graders this year! Have a great week! Please shoot me an email if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
