Week of January 12th

Good Morning!

This week in...

Reading:  So You Want to Be an Inventor.  The skill is fact and opinion which can be tricky as we gain grade levels.  We will be practicing our skill a lot this week.  Due to timing, we are going to give this test as a take home.  The students will receive it Thursday and it is due Friday.

Spelling:  Lesson 16

Religion:  We are discussing human dignity, soul, and God's image.  We looked at good ways that we can show God's image through us.  Later this week we will discuss sin and what that does to our image.

There is a great life insurance commercial from Thailand that shows a man portraying God's image in his everyday life. Here is the link:  Unsung Hero -some of the 4th graders may have been talking about it last night!

4th LA: Quiz on Friday

5th LA:  Persuasive essays

4th SS:  Chapter 8 lesson 2 and our graphing skill on bar graphs

5th SS:  Presentations Monday and Tuesday in Mrs. Stillo's room.  On Wednesday we will continue with Chapter 6.
