Week of March 18 to 22

What We Learned this Week:

Bible: The students took the test over King Solomon. We look forward to next week in which we begin our study on the divided kingdom. We will also spend a few days next week studying Easter. 

Math: We are just about finished with Unit 4. We will start Unit 5 next week which is all about measuring (distance, weight, time). 

Reading: This week, we studied repeated objects found in our chapter books and their importance / symbolism to the story. 

Social Studies: We concluded our government unit right on time! We were able to conclude our unit studying the Bill of Rights, and the next day we found ourselves in Lansing at the state capitol. It was a great trip! From interacting with the force of water to feeling static electricity (ask the kids about the static electricity workshop!) all the way to walking the beautiful halls and rooms of the state capitol building- we REALLY did it all. Thank you, parents, for helping us prepare your kiddos for this trip. I think it's one we will all remember. 

Writing: This week, we researched vivid adjectives to use in our essays. 

Grammar: In our grammar class, we reviewed the Spanish conditional tense (used to talk about hypothetical situations). The students practiced using the conditional tense by constructing a debate to the following question: Would it be a good idea to chew gum in class? 

**I will not be assigning homework for the week of March 25 to 28 (reading log, math log, roll and race math assignment). However, I am assigning a spelling list for the week. The test is scheduled for Thursday, May 28.**

What We Learned this Week: Bible:  This week, we studied David's desire to build a temple for God. We talked about how God sometimes says "no" as an answer to our desires. Just like David, we cannot allow that to make us feel bitter. God's will and plan is always good and perfect.  Math:  The students finished up their Unit 3 tests this week. We have started Unit 4 which is all about algebra. We started off by simplifying like expressions. I am including some practice exercises. If your student wishes to practice simplifying like expressions, s/he can complete this page and turn it in. I will provide feedback. Writing:  We are now officially finished with the Persuasive Essays. We look forward to next week when we move on to the Personal Expertise Essay. Social Studies:  The students finished their Geography of the United States Google Slides Project this week. We will be studying movements of people within the United States next week.  February 12 to 23 S...

What We Learned this Week Bible : We are kicking off our Bible class by understanding how Scripture interprets Scripture. We are studying the book of Philippians to do so. We investigated the events that took place during Paul's second missionary journey along with the people he met. Ultimately, we learned that Paul's primary focus was to know Christ even more- which should be our motive as well.  This unit is very short, so the students will be taking a quiz over the material we have learned thus far late next week. However, it is quite possible that the quiz will be pushed to early the following week. The students will be given a hard copy of the study guide, and I am including a digital copy of the study guide here as well. I also like to include links to a gamified version of the study guide. The platform is called "Blooket," and the students should be familiar with it. Here are the game links if your student wishes to play the games: Tower Defense 2 Monster Braw...

We have read up on how Ruth and Naomi traveled back to Bethlehem and how Ruth met Boaz.  The students will be taking the Judges and Ruth Test early in the week of September 30 to October 4. I will be providing the students a physical copy of the Spanish study guide on Monday. I am providing an electronic version of the Spanish study guide here . I am also including an English study guide for parent use only. Feel free to use this resource to support your student.  Additionally, I have made a Blooket using the test questions. I am including the game links here as another study resource for your student.
