This week's highlight is our field trip on Tuesday, Sept. 13th, to Fresh Pasture Farm and the City LIbrary. All parents are welcome. We leave ate 9:00 A,M. and return around 2:30 P.M. Please bring a lunch.
Religion: This week's character lesson revisits integrity, God's power to be true to HIm and yourself. Abraham and Sarah had trouble understanding God's plan. After waiting 25 years in their old age for God to grant them a child, they took matters into their own hands. God still remained faithful to HIs promise, but the consequences of their actions did not go away. Use this discussion starter at home of how do you stay true to God when you do not understand His plan?
Memory: The 4th commandment and its meaning can be tied to the discussion of not understanding God's plan as we approach the next election and the actions of those in charge. We are reminded that these people are placed in their positions by God. We are to respect authority in all forms.
Math: We are fast approaching our first math test. After two more lessons on missing addends and adding three addends, we will take a practice test on Thursday. Friday is test day.
Reading: We will read two nonfiction pieces about arctic climates. We continue to work on main ideas and details for understanding and the writing process. Homographs will also be reviewed. If time allows, we will try our hand at writing some poetry.
Spelling: From now on the Monday sight word tests will be 10 words.
Grammar: After successfully conquering subjects, we go headlong into predicates. We will also identify and correct run on sentences this week.
Social Studies: Tuesday's field trip will be a springboard for the rural/ urban project. The students will take notes on the trip. They continue to learn about organization and paragraph production with Mr. Fishburn.
Science: Our seeds are spouting and changing daily! This week we will continue to note changes in our notebooks. We will also use a balance scale to determine how much water our seeds have soaked up compared to dry seeds. Though you haven't seen any grades, notebook evaluations will happen very soon. More formal evaluations will happen at the conclusion of our seed investigation.
Friday Sept. 23 - No School for Professional Development for teachers
Blessings on your week!
