Religion/At home challenge
During 3rd and 4th quarter I have been reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe aloud to the class. I always use this as a tie in to Religion. It has so much symbolism in it that helps readers better understand the Bible and the story of Jesus. We have done a lot of comparison between this book and the Bible. Next week during holy week we will read the whole account starting at Matthew 26. This book has brought so many good discussions into our class and I would really encourage you to ask your kids about at home. It could be a very easy to start talking to them about their faith. They have so much to say and so many questions at this age. I have loved getting to know your children and their faith this quarter and I'm sure you will too.
Writing
I am going to spend a lot more time helping your kids evaluate their own writing. We will be grading our writing using rubrics in class. This is also what I use to help determine what their grade should be.
Achievement Tests
Next week is achievement testing. We will be doing activities in class that do not require homework. I want to help your kiddos do the best they can. I will be sending out an email with more info about the tests and the week.
Government/Economics Test
Friday will be our government/economics unit test. The test format will be multiple choice.
We have done a lot of activities in class to get the kids ready for this.
