Weekly Update


 Hello 5A Parents

Events
March 22- Hot Lunch Spaghetti
March 29th Spring Program.
April 1st No School PL Day 


Homework
  • I encourage everyone to read for at least 15 minutes every night. Also it is beneficial if after they finish reading you ask them questions about what they just read. This could include
    • What did you like or dislike?
    • What happened?
    • Who is your favorite character and why?
    • What do you think will happen next?
    • What is the setting for the part of the book you just read?
    • Any question that shows they are thinking about what they have read?

Bible Memory

I am doing Bible memory in a bit of a new way. The students have all gotten to pick their own Bible memory verse. It has to be at least 8 verses long. They will also have to answer the following questions about the verses they picked. I am not looking for big long theological arguments for these answers. I am looking for genuine reflection on the verses from the students. Feel free to discus and examine the passages with your student. 

  • Why they picked it
  • What does the verse mean
  • How does it apply to our lives as Christians
  • What through line or though lines applies to these verses and why?

Then starting on March 11th the students are all assigned a day that during out devotion time they will present their Bible memory verse (they will have to recite it from memory) and provide their answers to all of the questions. Each student needs to be prepared on their day to present with their answers already written or ready to go in a power point. 

Bible: 

We have started our Jonah and Parables unit. We will be doing an examination of the Book of Jonah as well as looking at some retellings of Jonah. Then we will be moving on to learning about Jesus' Parables and we will be integrating the Parables into our own story writing unit. 

Math: 

We are moving into the second math book. Have started a new PDM unit. There is no homework for this unit quite yet.


Science: 
We have started our Electricity unit- Electricity cover pages and What do you already know about electricity sheets are due Friday March 8th
